Mixed Reality Training and Workspace Integration

Conference ·
OSTI ID:2496266
Mixed reality technology is being used across Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to enhance training and workforce development. Projects involving mixed reality such as lockout/tagout , the Industrial Control System Laboratory , and a Department of Defense microreactor demonstration have benefited from these innovative approaches. Several key concerns exist with integrating this new technology, including ease of use, ease of setup, and maintenance through the lifecycle. These aspects need to be properly addressed to ensure that this technology remains attractive and useful to operations teams as well as engineers and researchers at INL. Primarily, this requires buy-in from information technology management, designing software/hardware-agnostic tools, and reducing friction with technology integration. To be successful, regular operational use of this new and unfamiliar technology will require straightforward user interfaces, simple setup processes, and feature-rich experiences that reduce the time needed to benefit from the technology. INL is improving its toolset to allow for a streamlined deployment and use of mixed reality technologies that are directly available to researchers and engineers.
