Machine visualization is an area of interest with fast
\r\nand progressive development. We present a method of machine
\r\nvisualization which will be applicable in real industrial conditions
\r\naccording to current needs and demands. Real factory data were
\r\nobtained in a newly built research plant. Methods described in this
\r\npaper were validated on a case study. Input data were processed and
\r\nthe virtual environment was created. The environment contains
\r\ninformation about dimensions, structure, disposition, and function.
\r\nHardware was enhanced by modular machines, prototypes, and
\r\naccessories. We added functionalities and machines into the virtual
\r\nenvironment. The user is able to interact with objects such as testing
\r\nand cutting machines, he\/she can operate and move them. Proposed
\r\ndesign consists of an environment with two degrees of freedom of
\r\nmovement. Users are in touch with items in the virtual world which
\r\nare embedded into the real surroundings. This paper describes development of the virtual environment. We
\r\ncompared and tested various options of factory layout virtualization
\r\nand visualization. We analyzed possibilities of using a 3D scanner in
\r\nthe layout obtaining process and we also analyzed various virtual
\r\nreality hardware visualization methods such as: Stereoscopic (CAVE)
\r\nprojection, Head Mounted Display (HMD) and augmented reality
\r\n(AR) projection provided by see-through glasses.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] E. Hoffman, Laser-scanning technology improves plant quality, safety\r\nand training.
