Construction of Virtual Petrochemical Enterprises Based on Virtual Reality Technology

Abstract:

As petrochemical production equipment with a high degree of risk, on-site training of operating staff and management has brought a great deal of difficulty. Therefore, this paper introduces our research and development work based on virtual reality technology to construct a virtual environment of petrochemical enterprises for on-site training of operating staff and management. To establish the virtual petrochemical enterprises, we adopted 3DMAX as a modeling tool, the VRP (Virtual Reality Platform) as a virtual reality platform as an operation platform. First of all, we create the various sub-scene of the area of petrochemical plants and do model integration and processing to result in the virtual scene with the virtual reality software. Then, we set interactive interface, allowing users to interact with the platform, which makes operations easier. We built-in virtual cameras and pre-recorded screen video to help play the presentation of the video content automatically, so that without human interaction will require. Finally, the role of script will blend with the real three-dimensional scene, the 2D panel and the daemon in order to obtain the true visual display. Therefore, the developed virtual petrochemical enterprise platform has a good show with its real intuitive.
