Good day, everybody.
I will speak about how real it is to implement virtual reality to real industry.
The title of the report is – To See the Reality.
What is it – to see reality? Very often we cannot see it.
We work with hydro, atomic, energy power plants, oil and gas producing and conversion plants.
Let’s take a nuclear power unit as an example.
The heart of it is a nuclear reactor. Nobody can see what is happening inside.
And sometimes decisions must be taken using a 3D model.
I will speak about Russia only.
A leader who is in charge of major decisions has lack of time, it costs much and when you provide him with information it must be presented the most vividly and consolidated.
Here we use geo-informational systems, spherical panoramas etc.
We can go from a model to the reality, when we model an emergency situation, and we can go from the reality to a model monitoring of the object and taking feedbacks.
I will show you several examples. We start with 2D and go up to 3D.
Some time ago in geo-informatics there were a few specialists and the subject was very hard.
Now it is just part of our life, thanks to Google. We all use these recourses.
What is geo-informatics?
It is when the cartography data is consolidated with other information and then we make images.
It is part of our work to have information about the territories. And there is huge database about Russia.
A table is a standard form here.
We can see the regions in different characteristics like: in income/outcome part, in demographical part, social policy/economics part and so on, hundreds and hundreds of characteristics.
And for leaders it is hard to take such big volumes of information.
And GIS consolidates the data with pictures and visualize information in different schemes and round diagrams or colored histograms.
And we can see correlations applied to regions; for example, when we want to see income/outcome part it might be presented in whole situation and in details,
for example a cost of a square meter of realty in particular area. And the system of GIS might used either in fuel and gas production holding or by government.
Here you can see thematic coloring.
The next is 3D presentation.
Today it is widely used in Russia,
we also have 6D, here you can see the informational model of atomic power unit, each object contains data in technological schemes or drafts, or other characteristics and you can get this information through the access to the virtual archive.
And this structure is used for construction and installation work modeling. Construction and installation sphere is very important in Russia.
When an object is being developed we can see together timing and building processes.
It is not pictures only, the scheme is very live, and information might be searched and added.
It can make and visualize the process of construction and installation on the master plan coloring the situations of the building site,
and we can see whether it is behind or ahead the schedule.
And it is useful to make decisions using such schemes and control the process with remote access - virtually.
Also virtual modeling is used to create emergency situations - things we don’t want to happen ever, like nuclear plant accidents.
Only on these models we can practice them.
And the last thing is augmented reality.
To the left it is a 3D model, to the right – a spherical panorama.
Unfortunately I cannot show these informational models in real, when these two are consolidated and we can see a situation ”as projected” and “as built”.
It is a GASPROM object here. And virtual reality helps to advance the level of our business.
I would like to say also a few words about hardware used to manage virtual reality.
Projectors appeared in 90-s, people can gather in one place and these all grew into situational crisis centers,
they are growing like mushrooms in our country, and projectors got changed by wide LCD screens now.
Thanks to Apple we all use sensor devises.
Here we can see the model of the device to navigate the information based on wide-screen with sensor control frame.
It lets to get information with gestures and finger touches. 10 touches are possible.
This sensor table is a transformer , you can work with it sitting, at reception, people can work interactively, the discussion and decision making might be done more efficient than in the format of our conference.
I believe that future is for virtualization.
Thank you
