Transforming Training and Simulation in Oil and Gas Industry Through Augmented Reality (AR) And Virtual Reality (VR) In Nigeria
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Engineering
Abstract
Technology is bringing constant change in the industrial world. Trainees/workers/employees has to be train with AR and VR in order to enable them acquire all skills, knowledge and competences that will enable them to carry out their job description efficiently. Augmented Reality (AR) enhances users' interaction and perception of the real world. AR technology enhances the sense of realism by overlaying real-time virtual cues and objects in the physical world. It serves as a link between the digital and physical worlds. With AR technology, trainees/workers can engage with virtual visuals enhancing real-world settings. VR immerse the user in a computer-generated environment that resembles reality. This paper identifies augmented Reality (AR) and virtual Reality (VR) technologies and their functionality, difference between augmented reality and virtual reality, application of AR and VR in training and simulation in oil and gas industry, benefits of utilizing AR and VR in training and simulation in oil and gas industry and the challenges faced in the utilisation of oil and gas industry. The paper came to a conclusion that AR/VR should be used in training and simulation in petroleum industry to develop the soft skills and hard skills of trainees/personnel. AR/VR use in training and simulation in oil and gas industry Increased efficiency and productivity, improved safety and risk mitigation, safe costs and allow collaboration.
Keywords
