Abstract

In recent years, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) have evolved from entertainment technologies into powerful tools for technical training and industrial operations. Thanks to lighter and more capable devices, advanced software, and sophisticated tracking and haptic systems, immersive environments now offer a strong sense of presence, enabling experiential learning through direct interaction and risk-free simulation. These technologies allow users to practice complex procedures safely, improving performance, reducing costs, and enhancing the transferability of skills to real-world contexts. This thesis investigates three main research directions: remote laboratories, immersive technical documentation with haptic devices, and automated testing systems. Remote laboratories connect real measurement instruments to AR/VR environments, overcoming the limitations of physical resources and enabling the observation of engineering phenomena through sensors and reconfigurable devices such as Field Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAA). The integration of contextualized technical manuals and haptic gloves provides realistic operational training, strengthening procedural memory and psychomotor skills. Finally, automated testing based on interaction recording and replay ensures the reliability, scalability, and rapid validation of immersive applications. The results show that combining real-world instrumentation, immersive documentation, and automated validation tools creates an innovative training ecosystem that is more efficient, safer, and better aligned with modern industrial needs. The thesis highlights the transformative potential of VR and AR in technical education, maintenance, and process optimization, outlining a new paradigm for integrated immersive training solutions.
