Abstract

This work presents the development of an interactive and intuitive three-dimensional Human Machine Interface, based on Virtual Reality, which emulates the operation of an industrial plant and contains a two-dimensional Human Machine Interface for control and monitoring a process of one or more variables, applying the concept of user immersion in the virtual environment. The application is performed by using Computer Aided Design software and a graphics engine. Furthermore, experimental results are presented and discussed to validate the proposed system applied to a real process of a plant.
