AB The paper presents work aimed at building practical applications of virtual reality (VR) in manufacturing environments. It contains studies of the optical properties of cameras and lenses aimed at the selection of an optimal set (camera, adapter, lens) for the realization of recordings and video transmissions in stereoscopic format for VR. In response to the increasing trend in the number of applications of VR systems in the industry, works have been initiated with the purpose of building a system levelling image noise identified thus far as an obstacle to the effective utilization of VR in production systems. It was considered that picture error correction can significantly increase an already big data stream from the recordings. Based on it, a set of parameter values was defined which determined the selection of study equipment. Three research areas were set: the verification of the optical correctness, the study of image defects and their correction and the determination of the maximum optical resolution and the achievable image parameters in various lighting and environmental conditions. An example was presented for the application of a projected system for the monitoring of undesirable events/movement at work stands and key areas of production halls as well as training in the high-risk production zones.
