Advantages of Implementing Virtual Reality Tools in Design and Technological Preparation of Production

Along with digital modeling, the key modern technologies include virtual (VR) and augmented (AR) reality, the use of which is a prerequisite for the implementation of the fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0. However, at Russian enterprises, these tools have not become widespread yet. The paper analyzes the possibility of using the tools of virtual and augmented reality and introduces the available Russian instruments. Practical examples consider the application in this area of — one of them — the VRConcept system — in detail. The availability of support in the VRConcept system for the data presentation format of the domestic computer-aided design system Compass-3D simplifies its implementation and use at the enterprise.
