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.

Pipe Installation and Layout Simulation

Learn how to properly install and layout plumbing pipes for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. This simulation allows students to virtually select and install different types of pipes, such as PVC, copper, and PEX, in walls, floors, and underground settings. Students will practice measuring, cutting, and connecting pipes using various fittings and couplings. Real-time feedback will be provided on pipe alignment, water flow, and adherence to plumbing codes.

Drainage, Waste, and Vent (DWV) System Installation

Familiarize with Drainage, Waste, and Vent (DWV) systems essential for removing wastewater and preventing sewer gases from entering buildings. In this simulation, the virtual installation of drainage pipes, waste stacks, and vent pipes in various building types is explored. Proper pipe sloping for efficient drainage and venting is practiced, with real-time feedback on system functionality, code compliance, and troubleshooting clogs or vent issues. XR technology enhances the experience, offering immersive and interactive learning.

Plumbing Fixture Installation Simulation

Learn to install common plumbing fixtures such as sinks, toilets, faucets, and showers. This simulation provides virtual practice in connecting supply lines, traps, and drainage systems. It includes techniques for leveling and securing fixtures to prevent leaks and ensure proper functionality. Feedback is provided on installation quality, water pressure, and fixture operation.

Microbiology and Fermentation Processes

Equip students with essential microbiological techniques and the core principles of fermentation in bioprocessing, enhanced by immersive XR experiences. Focus on isolating, culturing, and identifying microbes, while exploring fermentation applications in industries like pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and enzymes through interactive virtual and augmented reality simulations.

Trim Work and Finish Carpentry

The Trim Work and Finish Carpentry Simulation trains students in advanced woodworking techniques such as installing trim, baseboards, crown molding, and other intricate details commonly used in carpentry finishing. Virtual scenarios allow students to practice cutting, fitting, and installing trim and moldings around windows, doors, and walls. The simulation includes tutorials on how to miter corners, join pieces, and securely attach trim using nails or adhesives.

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.
