Abstract: Methods and an arrangement for immersive human computer interaction with a virtual mechanical operator of an industrial automation arrangement in virtual reality, wherein input information is transmitted to a component of the arrangement through the interaction with the virtual operator modelled in a simulation device for a rigid-body simulation, where the virtual operator is replicated in the virtual reality, an interaction with the represented virtual operator is detected by the virtual reality environment, second parameters calculated from first parameters of the detected virtual interaction are transmitted to the simulation device and used via the modelled virtual operator to simulate movement of a part of the operator, whether a switching state change of the virtual operator is produced by the simulated movement is decided, and where the switching state or the switching state change is reported as the input information to the component at least when a switching state change occurs.

Abstract: A system and method for operating and monitoring, in particular, an automation system and/or a production machine and/or machine tool. The visual field (9) of a user (1) directed onto at least one display (2) is recorded and an item of speech information (8) of the user (1) is evaluated at least intermittently, such that specifically predefined information data, which is linked to the recorded visual field (9) and to the recorded speech information, is depicted on the display (2). The predefined information data is displayed in accordance with the speech information (8) that is given by the user (1) and recognized by a speech recognition component (4) and in accordance with the recorded visual field (9). This provides a hands-free operation of the system, machine and/or tool, and enables the user to navigate in an environment of augmented reality applications even when complex technical systems are involved.

The visual field (9) of a user (1) directed onto at least one display (2) is recorded. Speech information (8) from the user (1) is at least intermittently determined and a visual feedback signal is generated in response to a processing status regarding the determined speech information (8). An improved speech interaction is thus obtained, in particular, in the field of augmented-reality applications and in complex technical plants.
