The imec Cleanroom In Virtual Reality

DIGITAL TWIN - TRAINING - Virtual Reality

Imec is a world-leading innovation hub for nanoelectronics research with two state-of-the-art cleanrooms.

A cleanroom is 10,000 times cleaner than a hospital operating room. Preparing to enter it is a long and involved process that takes up a lot of time. Once you come out, the whole procedure is repeated again, in reverse. A large observation window only offers limited detail of what goes on in the cleanroom.

Key Points

  • Challenge: imec wanted to allow faster access to the cleanroom and to show it to their global project investors and partners.
  • Solution: A VR environment of the cleanroom and a hazmat worker model.
  • Fact: By request of the client, the VR environment is not 100% accurate and provides only an overall experience of the cleanroom.
  • Outcome: A digital twin in virtual reality based of a physical cleanroom where people can receive instructions on how to behave in different situations

Training

Imec has subsequently built a training application for this VR environment.
