Control Systems and Automation

This XR simulation trains students in designing and implementing control systems for automated mechanical processes. It provides virtual scenarios where students can program control systems, such as PID controllers, to regulate critical variables like temperature, speed, and pressure in automated systems. Interactive lessons cover feedback loops, sensors, and actuators used in automated machinery, with real-time feedback on the stability, precision, and response times of the control systems.

Control System Design and Tuning

Explore the design, simulation, and tuning of control systems for mechanical and electrical applications. Through interactive simulations, students will design feedback control systems using PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controllers to regulate variables such as speed, temperature, or position. Real-time feedback will help students evaluate control system stability, response times, and error minimization for optimal system performance.

Refrigerant Handling and Charging Simulation

The Refrigerant Handling and Charging Simulation provides training on safely handling refrigerants, charging HVAC systems, and recovering refrigerants in compliance with EPA regulations. The simulation features virtual scenarios where students select the appropriate refrigerant types, connect service gauges, and monitor pressures during the charging process. Interactive exercises on refrigerant recovery allow students to practice safe recovery techniques before repairs or replacements. Real-time feedback is provided on refrigerant levels, system pressures, and adherence to EPA regulations for proper refrigerant handling.

Renewable Energy Systems (Solar, Wind, and Battery Storage)

The Electromagnetics and Wave Propagation module offers virtual simulations of renewable energy systems, including solar power, wind turbines, and battery storage. Through interactive exercises, students analyze energy conversion efficiency, system design, and grid integration, gaining a deeper understanding of electromagnetic interactions and wave propagation in renewable energy technologies.

Blueprint Reading and Layout

The Blueprint Reading and Layout Simulation teaches students how to read and interpret construction blueprints and translate them into physical layouts on-site. Virtual blueprints are provided, where students identify dimensions, layouts, and construction details. Interactive scenarios guide students in marking and laying out floor plans, walls, and structural components based on blueprint specifications. Real-time feedback is given on layout accuracy, alignment, and proper interpretation of building plans.

Emergency Scenarios Simulation

Prepare users to respond effectively to surgical emergencies using XR technology to simulate high-pressure situations such as cardiac arrest, hemorrhage, or instrument malfunction. Students will receive guidance on assisting the surgical team by managing instruments, preparing blood transfusions, and adjusting equipment during critical events, with real-time feedback on decision-making and response times.

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.
