| Description: |
This paper is about the applications of virtual reality in logistics. Virtual reality involves the use of advanced technologies, including computers and various multimedia peripherals, to produce a simulated environment that users perceive as comparable to real world objects and events. With the aid of specially designed transducers and sensors, users interact with displayed images, moving and manipulating virtual objects, and performing other actions in a way that brings on a feeling of actual presence in the simulated environment. It permits users to experience and interact with a life-like model or environment, in safety and at convenient times, while providing a degree of control over the simulation that is usually not possible in the real-life situation. Logistics is the process of planning, implementing and control of cost effective processing of materials and or human potential. In logistics the adjustment of time, place and capacity plays a central role. Insight in dependency and risks is essential for high quality decisions. Virtual reality plays a key role in these decisions. |
