Integrating Operations Simulation Results with an Immersive Virtual Reality Environment

This paper demonstrates the utilization of immersive virtual reality environments in the investigation of operations simulation results. The authors outline the benefits offered by virtual reality over the traditional two-dimensional computer interfaces, such as the monitor, keyboard and mouse. The paper describes the state of the art in the area of operations simulation and the implementation details and functionality of the program developed as a result of this research. The experience of using the developed application for the analysis of a manufacturing operation is presented.
