Scope

The XR for Training - Instructor Based template provides all the functionalities needed for a user to create a virtual interactive plant and use it in a multi-user training simulation activity.

Note: This template does not include a scripted scenario.

Versions

The template comes in two versions:

Empty. All the needed functionalities are provided; however, it contains no data.
Sample. A small sample plant is present in the project and is already fully configured to work as reference.

Required development activities

To create an Integrated Training Simulator (ITS) application based on this template, the developer will need to do the following:

Provide scene content:
- Import the MWX models of assets.
- Setup lighting and camera.
Scan and configure all interactive items and their actions.
Add Trends.
Configure plant maps and jump to cameras.
Create animations for malfunctions and equipment behaviors (if in the scope).
Configure the simulation characteristics including:
- Presence of XR Instructor (default is yes).
- Presence of XR Bridge (default is yes).
- Number of operator participating (default is 2).
Configure XR Instructor related details (if XR instructor is included).
- Logger
- Special items
Configure shared fields (if multiplayer).
Configure the bridge configuration file (if XR Bridge is included).
