We had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Open Days of Virtual Reality in Manufacturing, organized as part of the EcoLab 4.0 project at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Cracow University of Technology.

This event showcased how virtual reality (VR) is revolutionizing modern production processes—offering hands-on experiences with cutting-edge technologies that are shaping the future of Industry 4.0. From interactive simulations to digital twins, the demonstrations highlighted how immersive tech can enhance training, design, and operational efficiency.

Key takeaways:

• VR is not just for gaming—it’s a powerful tool for engineering education and industrial innovation.
• The EcoLab 4.0 initiative is a fantastic example of how academia and industry can collaborate to drive sustainable and smart manufacturing.
• Engaging students and professionals in such initiatives fosters a culture of continuous learning and technological curiosity.Huge thanks to the organizers and participants for making this event a success!

Stay tuned for what’s to come!
