Abstract
The technologies of virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) reach maturity: after growing application in the field of video games, these technologies seem today able to answer needs for the industrial world. In that context, Enedis (ex-ERDF) conducted an innovation challenge opened to start-ups and innovative SME companies in order to detect promising AR and VR solutions able to support the ‘next-generation field technician’. A field-test program was conducted with the selected companies with the aim of experimenting prototypes of new tools, and among them tools based on VR and AR technologies focussed on network and substations operation. The main outcome expected is to identify the new technical solutions capable of bringing in the short- and medium-term most value to the technicians in terms of performance and safety, and then to develop the corresponding operational tools and solutions. This study presents three complementary prototype tools which take advantage of AR and VR to help the field technicians to perform network operation in a more effective way and with an increased safety.
