3D Modeling for a Flexible Detector in VR Radiography Simulator

Digital simulators based on virtual reality expand the range of educational opportunities and improve the quality of learning in various areas of knowledge through deeper “immersion” in the learning process. Attention to the details of the modeled process plays an important role. One of the tasks of interactive simulators is to provide an opportunity to see the relationship between the user’s actions and the obtained qualitative and quantitative parameters and quality attributes of the simulated process result. Considered the issue of curved shape detectors application relevance in the practice of penetrating radiation evaluation in general and in industrial radiography in particular. The prerequisites for the creation of flexible (bendable) form of digital radiographic detectors and the features of two generations of practically implemented devices are analyzed. Development of a flexible detector digital twin is considered, models and algorithms for its realization in a virtual reality environment are proposed, and the main results of computational and laboratory experiments as well as the obtained radiographic images are presented. The main task of virtual reality technologies within the qualified technical specialists training programs is the development of their professional skills and the formation of stable behavior patterns that ensure strict compliance with the rules and requirements of industrial safety, thereby ensuring the high quality of the end product.
