Maxim O. Denisov, Irina N. Yakovina, Ilya O. Burov · 2023
In modern complex manufacturing always rely on skilled workers. But training new specialists in complex tasks is an actual problem. In virtual simulation training can be done multiple times and without life risk. Nevertheless, training on the computer is not the same as in the physical world. Blend both ways of training can Mixed Reality. In this paper one of the variants of developing application-instruction for industrial unit maintenance in the form of Mixed Reality application is shown in detail. Used instruments and platforms, where key components were created, are presented. Software structure of the application is described as well as implementation of The State Machine design pattern. This pattern was adapted for application needs, code snippets are shown. The application software was written in the C sharp programming language. The instruction is an immersive training for future specialists. Operator is following the steps of the instructions using the user interface - main virtual panel. Virtual panel design prototype, its features and realization in application are demonstrated. To create an interface related design task was solved including functional components. The connection between essential components is described. Operator's work in application is also demonstrated.
