Abstract

The aim of this paper is to merge simulation modelling and virtual reality technologies more deeply together. There are lot of platforms in field of simulation modelling which provide acceptable three dimensional capabilities and more flexible visualization properties to ease the understanding of the results of simulation model. However virtual and augmented reality technologies must be considered as well, because their development in last decade is strongly considerable and could improve perception. To hand the results or the process of simulation model to people, students or trainees in easy understandable and interactive way could be a great challenge. Thereby the researcher team of Virtual and Augmented Reality laboratory of Vidzeme University of Applied sciences develop new methods for basic 3D data depiction in virtual and augmented environment. Petri nets based modelling and notation could be appropriate and most comparable to functional block diagrams and parallel processes which are organized in scenarios of virtual reality systems. If transformation between these two technologies could be achieved, then successful approbation in different scenarios could open new possibilities in education and wide use of simulation modelling.
