Basic concepts and definitions. An overview of hardware components of VR systems – primary input devices, devices for motion monitoring, output display devices, VR projection systems. Computer platforms for VR – PC computers, graphic working stations, PC clusters, distributed VR systems. Principles of virtual reality technologies – monocular signs of depth perception, binocular signs of depth perception, principles of graphic display generation in real time, principles of haptic display generation in real time. General overview of virtual production – definitions, development history, application of VR technologies in product design, in production processes, in operations management, relations between key domains of virtual prototypes – advantages, comparative review of CAD and VR systems. VRAD systems – architecture and functions, user interface and navigation, operation flow. Application of virtual reality in modeling production processes and management operations on the example of the virtual rolling mill DEMAG. Virtual production in practice – application of AP technologies in assembling (Boeing), application of virtual design on the example of the Boeing aircraft 777, example of virtual toolroom, virtual prototype of the cabin interior of the passenger vehicle (Chrysler).
