1. Introduction

This document lists the different functionalities available in the MIMBUS CONSTRUCT simulator.

We will first explain the generic features common to all our simulators.

Secondly, we will detail each instruction associated with a sequence of the simulator, that is to say how to accomplish the task assigned by the system in order to proceed to the next step during the simulation.

2. General Operation

2.1. Main Menu

lobby vue globale fr FR
Figure 1. Overview of the reception hall

When launching the application, the user is in a main room called the "reception hall", where a screen displays the simulator’s main menu.

The main menu allows the user to authenticate, select an exercise to perform, and view their results. At the end of each exercise, they will be teleported back to this room.

2.1.1. User Selection

lobby user menu fr FR
Figure 2. User selection screen
  1. Groups menu: allows filtering users by group. If no group is selected, all available users are displayed.

  2. Users menu: allows selecting the user to authenticate.

  3. VULCAN connection button: allows connecting or disconnecting to the VULCAN platform.

  4. Settings button: allows opening the settings screen.

  5. Exit button: allows exiting the application.

First, it is necessary to choose a user from those available on the main screen. A simple click on the user’s name displays a window in which you must enter their PIN code (four-digit number), configured in VULCAN.

The user can use the Groups filters on the right, allowing them to display only users from one or more classes created in VULCAN.

It is possible to display all users present in your VULCAN organization. However, those who are not assigned to a learning path corresponding to your simulator will appear grayed out. It will not be possible to log in with them on this simulator.

Figure 4. User selection screen
  1. Exercise menu: allows selecting the exercise to launch.

  2. Modules menu: allows filtering exercises by module. If no module is selected, all available exercises are displayed.

This page displays the available exercises. A first click on an exercise displays its description. A second click validates the choice and launches the exercise. The tutorial allows you to familiarize yourself with the controls using a simplified scenario.

The user can use the Modules filters on the right to display only exercises from one or more categories.

In the exercise list, those already validated by the user are identified by a white crown in a colored circle. If connected to VULCAN, they can also choose to display only unvalidated exercises by deactivating the Show validated exercises button. Activating it allows viewing all exercises assigned to their group.

2.1.3. Difficulty Mode Selection

For compatible simulators, when selecting the exercise, the user can choose the difficulty level: Beginner, Advanced, or Expert. Depending on the exercises, the difficulty modifies the instructions and objectives. A click on the difficulty level launches the exercise. Already validated levels are identified by a white crown in a colored circle. For simulators that do not offer difficulty levels, a click on the Start button directly launches the exercise.

3. Tutorial Module

3.1. Tutorial

In order to familiarize the user with the available interactions, a tutorial scenario can be launched from the module selection menu.

The aim of the tutorial is to teach the user the commands of the virtual reality equipment and the different metaphors used in the application in a clear and progressive way. It will take place in a neutral and uncluttered environment so as not to distract the user from the various actions expected.

A panel detailing the association between the user’s controllers and the actions will always be visible during the experience.

md controllersPoster en
Figure 9. Panel showing the different controller buttons

The tutorial is presented in the form of successive themed rooms, which the user will have to perform one after the other:

  • Moving around

  • Grabbing and moving an object

  • Interacting with an object

In each of the rooms, the user will learn an action (i.e., use of a button) in a dedicated space, and then will have to put this action into practice to leave the room and move on to the next. Once the three rooms are completed, the user will go through a final door to finish the tutorial.

image

3.1.1. Moving

Objective: to learn how to move around the virtual world and recognize markers that indicate a specific location.

The user will learn to move by teleportation. To leave this first room, the user will be asked to teleport to the next room.

By pressing the "Teleportation" button, it is possible to initiate a teleportation. As long as the button is held down, you can choose the teleportation destination. When you release the button, the teleportation will be performed.

A parabolic pointer coming out of the controller will then be visible, symbolizing the path taken during a teleportation. If teleportation is possible, this pointer is violet; if not, it is red.

md teleportation01 en
Figure 10. Teleportation possible
md teleportation02
Figure 11. Teleportation impossible

3.1.2. Picking Up/Moving an Object

Objective: To learn to pick up an object, release it and place it on a magnetized area, and to recognize the associated visual feedback.

The user will be invited to bring their hand close to an object, visualize the associated visual feedback (blue outline), then pick up the object using the associated button and drop it onto a designated area on a second display.

Once this action is completed, the user will be prompted to exit the room by opening a door, giving them the opportunity to use the "Grab an item" interaction again on the handle.

md didacticiel grab
Figure 12. Tutorial: Grabbing and moving an object step

3.1.3. Action/Using a Tool

Objective: To learn how to interact with tools or buttons, and recognize the associated visual feedback.

The user will be asked to interact with an object on a display (the object will be surrounded by a yellow outline indicating the possibility of activating it) and activate it using the associated button.

To exit the tutorial, the user will have to move to the back of the room and press the elevator button using the "Interact" button. A fade to black will return the user to the lobby.

It is then necessary to place the VD tips on different terminals in pairs to check for the presence of current:

  • Input phase (top right of the contactor) and earth: Voltage is present

  • Input neutral (top left of the contactor) and earth: No voltage

  • Output neutral (bottom left of the contactor) and earth: No voltage

  • Output phase (bottom right of the contactor) and earth: No voltage
