Extended Reality Case Study 15 Oct 2024

Background

To give engineering students visuals and encourage hands-on learning, an e-learning company set out to develop a virtual reality application that would demonstrate the functions of a wind turbine and how it converts wind energy into electricity through mechanical parts

The Challenges

The creation of this VR application presented the following challenges: 

Design

  • The design team had to ensure that the wind turbine was operational and design the wind turbine and all its parts, on a real-world scale, to guarantee a more precise understanding of the working functions of the wind turbine for the students.

Development

  • As part of the study material, the team had to add animations and even required videos and images to the application. The developers needed to make sure that this addition would not impair its operation and that the frame rate would be maintained.
  • The development team also prioritised incorporating user-friendly features to ensure that students had a learning experience.

  • The wind turbine's 3D structure was modelled and optimised by the design team to make it lightweight and suitable for virtual reality applications. The team created a low poly environment to improve the user experience after gathering a lot of references for wind power plants. Additionally, the team implemented a virtual tour feature to allow users to explore the wind turbine from different angles. This feature provided a more immersive learning experience for students.
  • More features like wind sounds and other visual effects were added to further enhance the realism of the virtual environment and engage users on a sensory level.

Result

The VR application was fluent and efficient in showing the 3D representation of the wind turbine was successfully developed, effectively showcasing its features. With the help of the virtual reality application, students were able to gain firsthand knowledge of the wind turbine's features without physically needing to be there.

Furthermore, the interactive nature of the VR application allowed students to adapt and explore the wind turbine model in a way that would not be possible with traditional methods. This hands-on experience deepened their understanding of how wind turbines work and their potential benefits for renewable energy production.
