Abstract

A system for the replay of automation system operations in an extended reality environment with virtual objects using a display device having an at least partially transparent display. The system stores historical operational data. Upon entering a playback mode, the system generates virtual objects at historical locations representing the devices of the automation system. During playback sampled historical locations are delivered to the display device and the virtual object location is updated so that the automation system appears in motion. Interpolation may be performed between sampled device locations so improve playback speed or decrease the data that is stored. Automation system operations can be replayed in a smaller volume to allow the operator a holistic three-dimensional view of operations.
