This thesis presents a method for feasibility of the structure and verification of maintenance procedures using virtual reality, applied to the MORFEO module, part of the ELT observatory. It is based on CAD models provided by INAF. An interactive virtual environment was developed in Unity, optimized for immersive simulations. The goal is to allow designers to test, validate, and improve procedures with direct input from experienced operators, even at the preliminary design stage. The system was tested through sessions with experts and evaluated for usability, cognitive load, and industrial potential. The results highlight the benefits of Virtual Reality (VR) for human-centric design, training, and multidisciplinary collaboration.
Questa tesi presenta un metodo per la verifica della fattibilità della struttura e della procedura di manutenzione utilizzando la realtà virtuale, applicata al modulo MORFEO, parte dell’osservatorio ELT. A partire dai modelli CAD forniti dall’INAF, è stato sviluppato un ambiente virtuale interattivo in Unity, ottimizzato per simulazioni immersive. L’obiettivo è consentire ai progettisti di testare, convalidare e migliorare le procedure con il contributo diretto di operatori esperti, anche nella fase di progettazione preliminare. Il sistema è stato testato attraverso sessioni con esperti e valutato per usabilità, carico cognitivo e potenziale industriale. I risultati evidenziano i vantaggi della realtà virtuale per la progettazione human-centric, la formazione e la collaborazione multidisciplinare.

Abstract
This thesis presents a method for feasibility of the structure and verification of maintenance procedures using virtual reality, applied to the MORFEO module, part of the ELT observatory.
