Heat Pump Installation and Troubleshooting

The Heat Pump Installation and Troubleshooting Simulation trains students on the installation, operation, and troubleshooting of heat pumps in both heating and cooling modes. The simulation includes virtual scenarios for installing air-source and geothermal heat pumps, covering refrigerant line connections, electrical wiring, and thermostat setup. Students practice operating heat pumps, switching between heating and cooling modes, and troubleshooting issues such as defrost cycle problems, refrigerant flow issues, and reversing valve malfunctions. Real-time feedback is provided on system performance, heat transfer efficiency, and troubleshooting accuracy.

Construction Management and Site Planning

This XR simulation trains students in project planning, resource allocation, and construction management techniques. Virtual construction sites allow students to plan, sequence, and manage different phases of a construction project, from site preparation to project completion. Through interactive lessons, students will learn to schedule tasks, manage labor and equipment, and address logistical challenges. The simulation provides real-time feedback on project efficiency, time management, cost estimation, and adherence to safety protocols, enabling students to make informed decisions and optimize construction processes.

Staircase Building

The Staircase Building Simulation teaches students how to construct staircases, including stringers, risers, and treads, while ensuring code compliance and safety. Virtual scenarios guide students through laying out, cutting, and assembling staircase components. Interactive tutorials cover measuring rise and run, cutting stringers, and installing treads and risers. Real-time feedback is provided on staircase alignment, step dimensions, and adherence to safety and building codes.

Fatigue and Failure Analysis of Aerospace Components

Dive into the analysis of fatigue and failure in aerospace components with XR-powered simulations. In virtual scenarios, students analyze crack propagation, stress concentrations, and fatigue loading on critical parts of aircraft and spacecraft. Interactive lessons allow for predicting failure points, analyzing material fatigue, and learning techniques to implement design improvements to enhance component longevity. Real-time feedback is provided on component durability, the risk of failure, and adherence to safety standards.

Siding Installation

The Siding Installation Simulation teaches students how to install exterior siding materials such as wood, vinyl, fiber cement, or metal. Students engage in virtual practice to measure, cut, and install siding materials on building walls. The simulation includes tutorials on aligning siding panels, securing them to the building frame, and adding trim pieces for a polished look. XR (Extended Reality) integration enhances the learning experience by allowing students to visualize the full-scale siding installation process and interact with 3D models of siding materials in a real-world setting.

Biomechanics and Motion Analysis

Explore the principles of biomechanics and motion analysis through immersive XR simulations. Students will analyze human movement, understand forces acting on the body, and assess the performance of musculoskeletal systems in dynamic environments, enhancing their ability to apply these concepts to health, sports, and rehabilitation.
