发明名称 Computer-implemented operator training system and method of controlling the system
摘要 A computer-implemented training system includes a) a plant replica server; b) a virtual environment reproducer; and c) a motion sensing system. The plant replica server has a plant replica associated with a simulated plant model. The virtual environment reproducer is configured to reproduce a virtual environment of the simulated plant model, based on the plant replica. The motion sensing system is configured to sense motions of a field operator in the virtual environment. The motion sensing system is configured to send an update associated with the sensed motions to the plant replica server. The plant replica server is configured to receive the update from the motion sensing system, and to update the plant replica based on the first type of update associated with the sensed motions, and to reflect the first type of update to the virtual environment reproduced by the virtual environment reproducer.
