Abstract
With industry evolution and the development of Industry 4.0, manufacturers are trying to leverage it and find a way to increase productivity. Digital Twins (DT) technologies allow them to achieve this objective and revolutionize Product Life-cycle Management as they provide real-time information and insights for companies, allowing real-time product monitoring. Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that permits users to interact with virtual objects in immersive environments; even under constant development, VR has proven efficient and effective in enhancing training. DT integration into immersive VR environments is constantly developing, with many challenges ahead. This study aims the development of an immersive virtual world for training integrated with DT technologies to handle all users’ input using the simulator. Those were subject to a performance evaluation to understand how the application handles different input types, which confirmed the viability and reliability of this integration.
