Use of Mixed Reality in training and education at the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB)

Previously, training courses on chassis assembly were conducted without the use of mixed reality.

To improve employee training, a virtual reality application was implemented. This application guides users through the chassis assembly process step by step. Each step corresponds to a component. Additional information is provided audibly for each component.

The development focused on reducing the design data to a size suitable for VR without sacrificing the level of detail necessary for training purposes.

The implemented prototype is being further developed by the industry partner.

Here you can find a video about the project implementation.

The overall project, "Mixed Reality Based Collaboration 4 Industry," resulted from the collaboration of 22 companies and five scientific institutions from Lower Austria, Vienna, and Upper Austria (St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences, Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences Steyr Campus, FOTEC, IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems, and Vienna University of Technology).
