A Study of an Electric Power Plant Training Environment Using a Small Cylindrical Screen

Abstract

We have applied virtual reality technology to an electric power plant training environment. Virtual reality systems with multiple projectors to provide sense of presence in a wide view environment were large-scale, complicated and expensive. Therefore, we developed a virtual reality system with a small cylindrical screen in order to provide a wide view field using one projector, as well as joystick control methods for this training environment.
