Structural Analysis and Design

This XR simulation teaches students the principles of structural analysis and the design of buildings, bridges, and other infrastructures. Virtual scenarios allow students to analyze the strength, stability, and behavior of structures under various loads (e.g., dead loads, live loads, wind loads, seismic loads). Students use interactive tools to design beams, columns, trusses, and frames, selecting materials like steel, concrete, and timber. The simulation provides feedback on stress distribution, load-bearing capacity, safety factors, and compliance with engineering standards, helping students make sound design decisions.

Energy Systems and Power Generation

This XR simulation teaches students the principles of energy conversion and power generation systems, including the use of renewable energy sources. Through virtual simulations, students can explore various power generation systems, such as steam turbines, internal combustion engines, wind turbines, and solar panels. Interactive scenarios guide students in analyzing energy efficiency, heat loss, and optimizing power output, with feedback on energy conversion rates, sustainability, and overall system performance.

Cabinetry and Shelving Construction

The Cabinetry and Shelving Construction Simulation provides training in building and installing cabinetry, shelves, and storage systems for kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces. Students engage in virtual scenarios where they design, cut, assemble, and install cabinets, drawers, and shelves. The simulation includes interactive tutorials on creating custom cabinetry using various joinery techniques, selecting and installing hinges and hardware, and ensuring overall functionality. XR (Extended Reality) integration adds an immersive experience, allowing students to visualize and interact with 3D models of their projects in real-time.

Specialty Surgery Simulation (e.g., Neurosurgery, Orthopedics)

Provide students with exposure to specialized types of surgery, such as neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, or cardiovascular surgery, through immersive XR simulations. These virtual scenarios focus on the unique instruments, techniques, and procedures associated with each surgical specialty. Students practice assisting during complex surgeries, such as spine operations, joint replacements, or brain surgeries, receiving real-time guidance on instrument handling, positioning, and support for high-precision tasks.
