“…The Digital Teaching Competences section focused on the integration of digital technologies in teaching, since although digitalization is rapidly increasing, teaching remains highly dependent on traditional methods [8]. The "Trainees" received an introduction to MR in teaching and media literacy skills.…”

This article presents a methodology applied to the design of a tailor-made program for teaching staff that addresses the needs of high-level educational institutions in the Eastern and South-Eastern European (ESEE) region. The tailor-made program was implemented as a one-week online course for 22 “Trainees” from six ESEE universities earlier in 2021. “Trainees” from six participating universities are currently developing acceleration programs, planned to occur continuously until 2024, increasing the percentage of the trained academic staff to >50% at each of the six universities. During that period, 240 students will benefit from 140 improved RawMaterials-related courses, improving their learning and understanding.

“…It makes data collection, even real-time data collection possible in underground environment. Due to the specialised knowledge required for underground mining processes, 3R applications have been developed to address the need for effective visualisation and demonstration of mining information [23], [24], [43]- [45]. In contrast to conventional scientific visualisation, information visualisation places greater emphasis on 3D spatial visualisation.…”

Mining digitalisation have been receiving significant attention due to the utilisation of advanced technologies, such as IoT, automation, and sensing. However, maximising the potential value of collected data in the mining industry remains a challenge. Therefore, this paper aims to review timely concern topics to facilitate the fusion implementation in mining engineering. Specifically, this review covers recent popular topics, such as, data visualisation, data management, data analytics, data fusion, visual analytics, and mining digital twin construction. In this paper, we aim to draw a comprehensive picture about the fusion of data visualisation and analytics in the big data context, by examining the recent academic research related to these topics. Therefore, this paper reviews the visualisation domain by conventional classification, including scientific visualisation, information visualisation, and visual analytics, associated with the analysis of current digital twin development. Next, according to the challenges and issues related to visualisation development, this paper reviews the data management and data analytics domains as well. Incorporating with the fusion concept, machine learning-oriented fusion applications and potential scenarios in the mining industry have been discussed. In addition, based on the observation across various domains, this paper presents challenges and future potentials of data fusion in mining.INDEX TERMS mining digitalisation, data management, data analytics, data visualisation, and data fusion I.

“…MR technologies can help to overcome these limits and improve learning. In Europe, there are already education projects that propose this new paradigm, such as MiReBooks [10]. MiReBooks aims to produce a series of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) based interactive mining handbooks as a new digital standard for higher mining education across Europe.…”

Object Pose Detection to Enable 3D Interaction from 2D Equirectangular Images in Mixed Reality Educational Settings

In this paper, we address the challenge of estimating the 6DoF pose of objects in 2D equirectangular images. This solution allows the transition to the objects’ 3D model from their current pose. In particular, it finds application in the educational use of 360° videos, where it enhances the learning experience of students by making it more engaging and immersive due to the possible interaction with 3D virtual models. We developed a general approach usable for any object and shape. The only requirement is to have an accurate CAD model, even without textures of the item, whose pose must be estimated. The developed pipeline has two main steps: vehicle segmentation from the image background and estimation of the vehicle pose. To accomplish the first task, we used deep learning methods, while for the second, we developed a 360° camera simulator in Unity to generate synthetic equirectangular images used for comparison. We conducted our tests using a miniature truck model whose CAD was at our disposal. The developed algorithm was tested using a metrological analysis applied to real data. The results showed a mean difference of 1.5 with a standard deviation of 1 from the ground truth data for rotations, and 1.4 cm with a standard deviation of 1.5 cm for translations over a research range of ±20 and ±20 cm, respectively.
