Bidrectional connection in VR

What a Bidirectional Connection Is — and Why moreViz + Plant Simulation Change the Game

In many traditional workflows, VR is treated as a passive visualization tool. You import your models, explore them in 3D, and use that immersive view to support decision-making.

But what if VR could do more?
What if you could not only see your data, but also influence it—live, from inside VR?

That’s the power of a bidirectional connection.


What Is a Bidirectional Connection?

A bidirectional link means data flows both ways. Instead of sending information from Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation to VR for viewing only, your VR session becomes interactive.

With the bidirectional connection between moreViz and Plant Simulation, your VR environment turns into a live control center:

  • Data streams from Plant Simulation into VR for real-time visualization.

  • Your actions in VR send commands back, allowing you to interact with the simulation as it runs.


What You Can Do

Mirror Layout Models Instantly
Load your factory or logistics layout directly into VR — no time-consuming conversions, no delays.

Control Simulations from Inside VR
Start, stop, or tweak parameters without leaving the immersive environment.

Navigate Layouts at 1:1 Scale
Walk your plant virtually to spot bottlenecks, safety issues, or optimization opportunities.

Visualize Material Flows in Real Time
See traffic, queues, and storage areas come alive as data streams in, replacing complex 2D charts with intuitive 3D views.


Why This Matters

For manufacturing, logistics, and factory planning teams, this approach changes simulation from something abstract into something tangible:

  • Faster Decisions – Teams experience problems spatially, not just on a screen.

  • Better Understanding – See exactly where and why issues occur in context.

  • Improved Collaboration – Stakeholders can “walk the process” together and agree on solutions.

  • Actionable Insights – Move beyond reports to hands-on decision-making inside your digital facility.
