Fully Immersive Virtual Reality in Logistics Modelling and Simulation Education

Abstract

With the increasing development and popularisation of information and communication technology, new challenges are posed to higher education in the modernisation of teaching in order to make education and training of students as effective as possible. It is therefore very important to develop and experiment with appropriate development tools, explore their benefits and effectiveness, and integrate them into existing learning strategies. The emergence of a computer-generated digital environment that can be directly experienced, actions that can determine what is happening in it, growth of technological characteristics, and decline in prices of virtual reality hardware leads to a situation that cannot be ignored. This paper investigated users' perceptions on the potential use of fully immersive virtual reality head-mounted displays in a discrete-event simulation of logistics processes. The dynamic nature of virtual environments requires active participation which causes greater engagement, motivation, and interest aided by interaction and challenges.

Design of Three-Dimensional Virtual Simulation Experiment Platform for Integrated Circuit Course

“…This platform is a three-dimensional simulation, based on the web, which uses a mouse and keyboard to interact [15]. Compared with other simulation forms, web-based 3D interactive immersion is low [16]. However, the advantages of a three-dimensional simulation in the form of a website are obvious.…”

Research on Construction and Application of Network Learning Space for Logistics Information Technology Specialized Courses on Higher Education Resource Platforms

“…Only by improving the quality of the university curriculum system and strengthening the cultivation of high-level talents in the postal industry can we effectively promote the industry to realize high-quality development [12]. Literature [13] studied the status quo of the application of virtual display technology in logistics teaching and pointed out that virtual reality technology improves the user's logistics professional knowledge to learn positively and enthusiastically and helps to improve the quality of logistics professional teaching. Literature [14] conceptualized a logistics park supply chain information push strategy with Internet of Things technology as the core logic, which realizes the high accuracy of logistics information push and improves the operation efficiency of the logistics system.…”

The EU Logistics Sector

“…Effective supply chain management seeks to optimise processes, reduce costs, and enhance overall performance (Hruška et al, 2021). • Information systems: modern logistics relies heavily on information technology and systems for real-time tracking, data analysis, and communication within the supply chain (Ogrizović et al, 2021). • Reverse logistics: this aspect deals with the return of goods, recycling, and managing product recalls or defective products (Vimpolšek and Lisec, 2022).…”
