Development of Components of Analog and Digital Gauges for Training Regulators Safety Check using Virtual Reality

Abstract

The inspection and check of the pressure regulation facility should be achieved, because it is mandatory item on law of gas safety management. It is more effective education using 3D virtual reality to enable injecting real combustible and toxic gas. Also it give immersion to trainee with virtual experience. In here, we reviewed education on the pressure regulating facility using virtual reality technology and designed a safety training scenario for decomposing and checking the pressure regulators on VR screen. And then we implemented components of an analog and digital pressure gauges using 3D Unity tool to visualize them on the VR education system. Trainee can be educated efficiently interacting their 3D virtual engine with components such as pressure gauges, pipelines, valves, and practical environments. Its effectiveness is demonstrated at the result through questionnaire. Its positive answer of three main inquiries is more 93%. We hope gas risks are reduced by using our virtual education contents at various industrial fields.
