Abstract
Virtual reality technique is generally considered as a natural extension to 3D computer graphics. This technique has matured enough until today to guarantee effective industrial applications. The virtual reality (VR) technique with up-to-date software systems supports various industrial applications such as design, engineering, manufacturing, operations and maintenance. The integration between virtual reality and industrial operations provides necessary support to develop cost efficient production system with sophisticated maintenance management. This paper highlighted the generic concept of the application of virtual reality technique in industrial maintenance. An application case on virtual reality technique in power plant operations and maintenance is demonstrated within the scope of this research. Overall research implications on virtual reality concept in various industrial applications are concluded with future research directions.
