Energy Encyclopedia VR

Energy Encyclopedia VR — Beyond Visualization

This version has been updated based on valuable feedback gathered during the presentation of the application at the World Nuclear Exhibition 2025 in Paris. The overall control scheme is now more intuitive and designed for a broad audience, including users with no prior VR experience.

Energy Encyclopedia VR turns complex energy systems into an immersive, hands-on learning experience for students, engineers, and curious minds. As part of the EnergyEncyclopedia.com platform, it lets you explore the science and technology that power our world — from the atom to the grid.

In an interactive virtual lab, you can assemble key components of:

• A Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) – the backbone of nuclear power.
• A Small Modular Reactor (SMR) – the next generation of compact reactors.
• A Steam Turbine – the mechanical heart of power generation.

Each part includes informative descriptions and engineering insights. Watch as a full-scale animated simulation brings your assembled system to life, showing how raw energy becomes useful power.

Explore a virtual gallery with 30+ animated 3D models across major energy fields:

• Nuclear fission – PWR, BWR, SMR
• Solar – tower and photovoltaic plants
• Hydropower – Kaplan, Francis, and pumped-storage systems
• Wind – inside a full-scale turbine
• Fusion – tokamaks and stellarators

Energy Encyclopedia VR bridges the gap between textbooks and real-world engineering through accurate visuals, intuitive interaction.
