Research on the Exploration of Petrochemical Virtual Simulation Laboratory Construction Based on VR Technology

With the advancement of science and technology, petrochemical experiments have become increasingly complex, potentially dangerous, costly, and can cause safety hazards. The virtual experimental technique using VR technology enables researchers to simulate the experiment process in a modeled environment. The obtained initial experimental results can provide a process background for subsequent real-life experiments. In this paper, the authors have systematically expounded the overall approach and framework of VR technology in the design of petrochemical virtual simulation experiments. The new VR technology method is designed to meet the diversified needs of professional experimental researchers, including the main experiment objectives, the design of the system function modules, and overall planning and layout. The efficient VR technology experiment reduces safety risks and provides a useful reference for upgrading and transformation of conventional petrochemical laboratories.
