There are reactor simulators, but the ones I've seen use ordinary GUIs. I haven't seen any that tried to be visually accurate.

- analognoise 6y agoDo you know the names of any, or where I could look? I mean what if you had a fully immersive, functionally and spatially accurate model of a reactor control room? How absolutely badass would that be?
- jpindar 6y agoHere's a simple one [1] I had some fun with. (There's a Flash version too [2]). That one's just a game, so I have no idea how accurate it is. But if you search you might find something that's used in some university's nuclear engineering program or something like that. Very realistic ones used for actual training exist - this one [3] uses VR! - but those probably won't be online.

- analognoise 6y ago...yeah so long story short, I have had the "How do you LEARN that?" thought before, which led me to some very niche companies that sell some (very awesome) educational kit. Like this: https://www.turbinetechnologies.com/educational-lab-products/turbojet-engine-lab https://www.turbinetechnologies.com/educational-lab-products... Maybe I could rig up an industrial-style control panel to an RPI and actually run a simulation on that. Why go virtual when you can build some cool boxes? I guess accuracy.
- jpindar 6y agoI think I've seen something like that done to simulate an airplane cockpit.
