The importance of High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission systems is growing due to the rising trends of digitalization, decarbonization, and distributed generation in the energy industry. These systems provide an efficient means of transmitting large amounts of power over long distances, while also connecting renewable energy sources to the power grid and balancing three-phase grids. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies present a range of opportunities to address challenges in the energy industry. In this study, we propose a methodology to implement a VR and AR system for the energy electric company Eletronorte that facilitates visualization, navigation, and interaction with the arrangements and components of the HVDC system substations. The project involves developing modeling techniques to improve the representation of the components, updating preventive maintenance procedures, and creating a system monitoring environment using VR and AR, enabling engineering teams to interact with field teams and integrate real and virtual systems. VR simulations will provide a safe and controlled environment for training and testing, while AR simulations can be used to provide real-time guidance to technicians in the field. This approach can improve the efficiency and dependability of stepby-step activities, while also reducing the time and costs associated with system maintenance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A Digital Twin (DT) is a virtual representation of a physical object which plays an important role in the digital transformation of industry, where an important requirement for intelligent manufacturing is cyber-physical integration. One of the objectives is to improve the performance of the real system using the information generated in the virtual part. The present paper shows the development of a low-cost DT used for monitoring the state of the process and the product development using augmented reality (AR) and free software for its configuration and programming. The design was tested in the MPS 500 classification station, which is a modular production station that has industrial sensors and actuators and was controlled with a Raspberry Pi (RPi) board responsible for sending data to the Firebase cloud to further show the DT in real-time in a mobile phone. Results show that with the help of the DT and AR, it is possible to automate industrial processes and monitor them from different places, collecting and analyzing data to achieve the implementation of solutions based on the data generated by the DT, enabling a greater level of digitalization and information to increase the efficiency and reliability of the processes.

This solution aims at promoting well-being through Augmented Reality (AR) Sensing Based Technology, by developing a predictive system for treatment of specific phobias. Treatment of such mental disorders involves exposure therapy, which is usually conducted on a gradual and systematic basis, allowing modifications in the therapeutic setting with different exposure sessions. To meet these conditions, the therapist needs to evaluate the patient's responses in the previous sessions to define the content of the subsequent sessions. Therefore, we intend to use the psycho-physiological responses from the participants during the sessions through peripheral (i.e. ECG, EDA, EMG) and central nervous system responses (i.e. EEG) associated with emotional expression, as well as the participatory input to a visual analog scale (i.e. tactile feedback input system, avoiding huge hands movements and interruptions during carrying session) as an indicator of the subjective experience of emotions during the session (i.e. figures with different moods). This data will be also used to define the contents of each session, through a decision algorithm based on the history of the previous sessions for the same individual. All data resulting from this application will be recorded in a database to create individual reports on the session outcomes. The hardware to be used for psycho-physiological recording will be the Bitalino system (Plux) and the software for the AR development the NyARToolkit and Unity 3D software. We plan to carry out a pilot study with data collection in the laboratory setting to test the module related to the integration of psycho-physiological and participatory data in the AR system.

In this paper we present the first version of the PlanetarySystemGO project, an evolution of SolarSystemGO, a Mobile Augmented Reality game previously created with the Unity3D/Vuforia game engine. While both projects aim at providing awareness of several Astronomy concepts, for PlanetarySystemGO a web based back-end system was implemented, developed under the .NET technology, that allows the instructor to manage several aspects of the game. Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that elevates the possibilities of current Mobile Applications by superposing digital content to real world objects. The mobile devices that run these applications are increasingly powerful regarding their computational resources, allowing widespread adoption of the AR paradigms. The system presented can be enjoyed by players of all ages, but our main target are school children and young adults, as an application tool or even for learning purposes. A set of field tests was conducted, validating the presented design, and allowing continuous improvement of the system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The overall purpose of this project is to test the impact and potential benefits of Virtual and Augmented Reality technologies (AR&VR) to improve maintenance operation in industrial equipment. The main function for a Flapper valve of a Fuller-Kinyon type M pump is to prevent that the air generated to convey the bulk material through a conveying pipe flows inside of the material chute through the rotating screw. If this will occur, the material flow will decrease or even stop, causing a reduction of the pump capacity. Thus, it is necessary to maintain calibrated each flapper valve in the plant. This process of maintenance is done ten times per month, or when necessary, and it needs the pump to be shut down, taking up to two hours to finish the complete process. For this reason, an augmented reality application is being developed, aiming to reduce the consumed time by the maintenance process. Using this application, it is expected to dedicate less time training the new personnel responsible for the maintaining process, displaying tridimensional models, animations, images and text information that would simplify the instructions shown in a printed manual and adding an interactive environment between the users and the information displayed. A mobile device either a tablet or a smartphone is to be used as the hardware that will run the application, allowing the user to take it right to the working area, either in a workshop or directly in field. The information displayed includes CAD models of the pump and its components as well as animations illustrating the instructions to follow in each step of the process. Also, the right tool to use in each step will be indicated following by security warnings when needed. This project was developed from knowledge and experiences gathered among the different previous AR projects developed at ITESM. This information has been studied and "best practices" has been noted, learned and established to develop and implement AR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
