Extended Reality (XR) technologies are increasingly popular to support the engagement of different audiences and stakeholders with Discrete Event Simulations (DES) due to their capability to deliver more accessible visual and immersive experiences. XR applications can be developed either using modules integrated into DES software or game engines, providing different sets of opportunities in the environment design. However, there is a lack of development guidelines for such environments, considering visualization, information presentation, interaction, and navigation aspects. The paper presents a systematic review of the use of XR for DES, relating the results to XR design heuristics to identify and discuss major design tradeoffs. Finally, a case study from the mining sector is exemplified to illustrate possible. solutions to balance the trade-offs.

扩展现实和离散事件模拟：定义设计权衡和方向的系统审查


扩展现实 (XR) 技术越来越受欢迎，可支持不同受众和利益相关者参与离散事件模拟 (DES)，因为它们能够提供更易于访问的视觉和沉浸式体验。 XR 应用程序可以使用集成到 DES 软件或游戏引擎中的模块来开发，从而在环境设计中提供不同的机会集。然而，缺乏针对此类环境的开发指南，考虑可视化、信息呈现、交互和导航方面。本文对 XR 在 DES 中的使用进行了系统回顾，将结果与 XR 设计启发法联系起来，以识别和讨论主要的设计权衡。最后，通过采矿业的案例研究来说明可能性。平衡权衡的解决方案。
