The Virtual Reality (VR) training is one of modern simulation tools which has been used to help train up staffs to operate equipment and facilities, as well as handling emergency situations in different industries. This paper discusses the theories supporting the adoption of VR technologies in the laboratories and pros/cons of Virtual Reality Training systems. Virtual reality technologies have been applied to different types of trainings in many industries, such as product design and manufacturing, facilities maintenances and territory teaching purposes. A typical virtual reality system includes four basic elements: 1) Input devices in order to simulate the working behavior; 2) Output devices; such as VR headset to allow the user in the virtual environment; 3) graphical system that produce simulated scenario(s); 4) Database to store the different conditions to simulate the operation environment.

“…Virtual Reality (VR) technology allows users to interact with different objects in a virtual environment [1]. Shen et al [2] found that virtual simulation, through VR technology, creates significant advantages including cost savings, time-savings, and improvements in training efficiency and safety in areas such as healthcare, construction, and manufacturing. Sherman and Craig [3] define VR technology as a medium composed of computer simulations that sense the user'sactionsandpositions and change or augment the feedback to the user's senses, creating the feeling of being present in the simulation, in other words, being mentally immersed.…”

While Virtual Reality (VR) technology has experienced a recent growth in interest and offers immense potential in a number of domains, there is still insufficient information on the acceptance and adoption of this technology among individual users. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the acceptance and adaptation of people using VR technology in the construction industry and to identify factors that prevent VR technology from being adopted more widely in the construction industry. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to approach this research problem among 15 students and academic staff members at two universities. The results of this research indicate that VR technology is acceptable to people who work in the construction industry. However, there are barriers to further adoption of VR technology, namely high VR hardware and software requirements, low affordability, and low accessibility. This research also proposes several resolutions to these barriers, including preparing facilities by construction industries and universities, providing software and hardware requirements for VR technologies, and decreasing the price of VR devices. The results of this research are of immense value to suppliers and companies affiliated with this technology. Further research is required to demonstrate the functionality of VR technology in the construction industry.

In this article, to meet the requirements of marine engine room simulator on both the simulation speed and simulation accuracy, a mean value engine model (MVEM) for the 7S80ME-C9.2 marine two-stroke diesel engine was developed and validated in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. In consideration of the significant influence of turbocharger compressor on both the engine steady state performance and transient response, a novel compressor model (mass flow rate and isentropic efficiency model) based on a previous study carried out by the first author was proposed with the aim of achieving satisfactory simulation accuracy within the whole engine operating envelope. The predictive and extrapolative capability of the proposed compressor model was validated by carrying out simulation experiments and analyzing the simulation results under steady state condition and during transient process. To make the traditional MVEM capable of predicting in-cylinder pressure trace, the cylinder pressure analytic model proposed by Eriksson and Andersson for the four-stroke SI (spark ignition) engine was adapted to the 7S80ME-C9.2 marine two-stroke diesel engine based on the characteristic of in-cylinder pressure trace of this type of engine and then coupled to the MVEM developed in this paper. Since there is no need to solve any differential equation as it is done in the 0-D model, the advantage of MVEM in running speed is not impaired. For achieving satisfactory simulation accuracy by using the analytic model, the model parameters were calibrated elaborately by using engine measured data and a 0-D model and the relevant tuning procedure was discussed in detail.
