Overview of virtual reality technology
Virtual reality is a computer-generated simulation environment that simulates the real world or creates fictional scenes.
This includes simulations and interactions of multiple senses such as visual, auditory, and tactile, allowing users to participate in an immersive way. The basic principle of virtual reality technology is to combine the computer-generated virtual scene with the user's real perception, and realize the user's interaction with the virtual environment through head-mounted displays, handles, sensors and other devices.
The development of virtual reality technology can be traced back to the 60s of the 20th century. Initially, virtual reality technology was mainly used in simulation training in military, aerospace and other fields. With the improvement of computer technology and graphics processing capabilities, virtual reality technology has gradually extended to a wider range of fields.

The mainland equipment manufacturing industry is an important pillar industry of the national economy, with high technical content and output value scale. In recent years, with the strong support of the government and the continuous efforts and innovation of enterprises, the mainland equipment manufacturing industry has made remarkable achievements.
First of all, the mainland equipment manufacturing industry has realized the transformation from a follower to a catch-up. In many subdivisions, mainland equipment manufacturing enterprises have the ability of independent research and development and production, and have made a series of breakthroughs in technological innovation.
Secondly, the quality of products in the mainland equipment manufacturing industry has been continuously improved. From high-speed railways, nuclear power equipment to communication equipment, the mainland's equipment manufacturing products have gradually reached the international advanced level in terms of technical performance, reliability and safety, and have stronger competitiveness.
In addition, the mainland equipment manufacturing industry pays attention to green and sustainable development. In the process of product design and production, more and more enterprises pay attention to environmental protection, improve resource utilization, and actively promote cleaner production and circular economy. Although the mainland equipment manufacturing industry has made great progress, it still faces some technical challenges and constraints.
First, the ability to innovate is relatively weak. Although the mainland has made great breakthroughs in scientific and technological R&D investment and the number of patents, compared with developed countries, the mainland still has a big gap in original innovation, core technology and key components.
Second, high-end equipment technology relies on imports. At present, the mainland still relies on imports in the field of high-end equipment manufacturing, and core technologies and key components such as aircraft engines and chips are still facing certain restrictions and pressures.
In addition, the process of digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of the manufacturing industry is still lagging behind. Although the mainland equipment manufacturing industry has made some attempts in areas such as industrial Internet and artificial intelligence, it is necessary to accelerate the pace of digital transformation and improve production efficiency and product quality.
With the proposal of the "Made in China 2025" strategy, the mainland equipment manufacturing industry is facing major needs and urgency for development. First of all, the mainland needs to accelerate the upgrading of the position of the equipment manufacturing industry in the global value chain. Only through independent innovation and breakthroughs in core technologies can we shift from assembled manufacturing to truly innovative manufacturing and realize the transfer of higher ends of the industrial chain.
Secondly, improving the key core competitiveness of the equipment manufacturing industry is an important task at present. This includes improving product quality and brand awareness, strengthening independent design and R&D capabilities, and forming a group of enterprises with international influence.
In addition, the equipment manufacturing industry needs to promote the in-depth development of digital transformation and intelligent manufacturing. Through technologies such as the industrial Internet, big data analysis and artificial intelligence, we can improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and achieve sustainable development.
Application of virtual reality technology in the field of human-machine collaboration and training
Virtual Reality (VR), as an emerging information technology, is gradually penetrating into various fields, including the equipment manufacturing industry. It not only provides a new way for product design and simulation verification, but also shows great application potential in equipment manufacturing process optimization and human-machine collaborative training.
Virtual reality technology plays an important role in product design and simulation verification. While traditional product design and verification rely on physical prototypes, virtual reality technology enables designers and engineers to design and verify realistic products in a virtual environment through modeling and visual presentation.
First, virtual reality technology can speed up the product design process. Designers can design in a virtual environment, quickly adjust product parameters and structures, see results immediately, and test product performance and reliability. This iterative approach to design significantly shortens the product development cycle.
Secondly, virtual reality technology can improve the accuracy and quality of products. Through virtual simulation, designers can gain a more complete view of all aspects of a product, including appearance, function, and performance, so that potential problems can be identified and corrected early, improving the accuracy and quality of the product.
Virtual reality technology also has a wide range of applications in equipment manufacturing process optimization. By combining virtual reality technology with robotics, automation equipment and data analysis, the equipment manufacturing process can be intelligent and efficient.
