Who we are

 

The virtual reality laboratory was established in the summer of 2018. The goal of the laboratory is the development and implementation of digital technologies related to virtual and augmented reality. The members of the laboratory are teachers, post-graduate students and students of NRNU MEPhI with physical and technical training.

 

Our goals

 

Initially, the laboratory's interests were in creating virtual analogs of Uranium-Graphite and Uranium-Water Subcritical Assemblies, however, with the expansion of the laboratory and the accumulation of experience, the scope of the laboratory has expanded, at the moment the main interests of the laboratory are as follows:

 

• Creation of virtual analogs of critical facilities;
• Scientific visualization in a virtual reality environment;
• Creation of digital twins of real experimental facilities;
• The use of augmented reality technology in the nuclear and other industries;
• Photogrammetry and 3D mapping technologies with their further use in virtual reality;
• Combining simulation results and specialized computational programs with a virtual environment;
• Education.
