  Preliminary activities were performed to verify the feasibility of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies applied to nuclear physics laboratories, using them for different purposes: scientific dissemination events, data collection, training, and machine maintenance*. In particular, this last field has been fascinating since it lets developers discover the possibility of redesigning the concept of the Human-Machine Interface. Based on the experience, it has been natural to try to provide to the final user (such as system operators and maintainers) with all the set of information describing the machine and control system parameters. For this reason, we tried to integrate the accelerator’s control system environment and VR/AR application. In this contribution, the integration of an EPICS-based control system and VR environment will be described.
