Fluid Mechanics and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Teach students the principles of fluid dynamics through immersive XR simulations and hands-on practice with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Virtual scenarios allow students to simulate fluid flow in pipes, pumps, valves, and aerodynamic surfaces, offering a deep dive into the behavior of fluids in different environments. Students will use interactive tools to set up boundary conditions, generate meshes, and analyze flow patterns using CFD software. Real-time feedback focuses on improving flow efficiency, managing pressure drop, understanding turbulence, and optimizing design solutions.

HVAC System Maintenance Simulation

The HVAC System Maintenance Simulation provides training on routine HVAC maintenance, including system cleaning, filter replacement, and component checks. Students perform virtual maintenance tasks such as changing air filters, cleaning condenser coils, and checking refrigerant levels. Interactive scenarios allow students to inspect electrical components, belts, motors, and thermostats for signs of wear or malfunction. Real-time feedback is given on maintenance efficiency, system condition, and preventive measures to avoid future breakdowns.

Opening and closing valves

Explore and enhance skills in safely operating and maintaining valves with XR simulations to practice various valve-opening and -closing scenarios.

Airway Clearance Techniques

Explore airway clearance techniques for managing mucus and secretions in patients with respiratory compromise through immersive simulations.

Electrical Safety and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Simulation

Learn electrical safety protocols, focusing on Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures to prevent accidental energizing of equipment during maintenance or repairs. Through virtual simulations, students will practice securing electrical circuits using LOTO procedures and identify potential hazards such as electrocution, arc flash, and fire. Real-time feedback will be provided on safety practices, risk assessment, and adherence to OSHA regulations.

CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) Integration

Explore XR-driven CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software simulations to teach students how to generate toolpaths for CNC machining. Students will virtually import 3D models, set up machining operations, and create G-code for CNC machines. Interactive lessons guide them through toolpath creation, cutting strategies, and simulating machining operations. Feedback on toolpath efficiency, machining time, and material removal helps refine their CAM and CNC programming skills.

LMS Integration

imaginX seamlessly integrates with leading LMS (Learning Management Systems), enabling educators to track student performance and allowing students to maintain their work records. It is compatible with popular platforms such as Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Google Classroom, Schoology, Sakai, Brightspace/D2L, and can also be used independently of an LMS.
