3D VR Serious Games for Production & Logistics

Abstract

Within the Institute of Production of the University of Applied Science Cologne, TH Köln, the logistics IT group has initiated a new project for the 3D Virtual Reality digitization of logistics and manufacturing processes. The 3D Virtual Reality Serious Games learning environment is in accordance with the real physical model factory at the institute, where students of business engineering classes study and exercise the interdisciplinary processes of a whole manufacturing unit. On the basis of this project initiation within the institute of production we want to build and offer a widespread open-source standard framework for programming 3D VR Serious Games for Production & Logistics that can be used by other universities and industrial partners. A sneak preview of the game can be viewed in.

Creating Interactive Scenes in 3D Educational Games: Using Narrative and Technology to Explore History and Culture

“…This study also highlights popular software like Virtual Engine (v. 2021.3.21f1) as a tool for creating 3D games, as well as future directions for their development [9]. Additionally, work [10] on the use of serious 3D VR games for manufacturing and logistical processes shows the promise of offering interactive and immersive educational experiences, which can significantly enrich the teaching process. Equally important is the work done in [11], which focuses on the development of authoring tools for creating individual game-based learning environments.…”
