We propose development of robust Virtual Reality training programs, offering a way for skilled professionals to train the on-site technicians and to perform remote diagnostics over VirtualReality, potentially in real time. To achieve this, we make use of digital twins - a virtual model of a realmachine, so, the professionals can use the immersive effect to, for instance, explode the twin model and either explain it’s working or help pinpoint the cause of a malfunction, allowing the professional to interact with and explain the working of the machine, thus making it a form of Assisted Reality powered by Digital Twins. This will not only provide training opportunities but also provide Ad-hoc maintenance opportunities, using the real time data provided by Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) devices.
