Abstract:
Recent introduction of low-cost 3D sensing and affordable immersive virtual reality have lowered the
barriers for creating and maintaining 3D virtual worlds. In this paper, we propose a way to combine these
technologies with discrete-event simulation to improve the use of simulation in decision making in
manufacturing. This work will describe how feedback is possible from real world systems directly into a
simulation model to guide smart behaviors. Technologies included in the research include feedback from
RGBD images of shop floor motion and human interaction within full immersive virtual reality that
includes the latest headset technologies.
