A single physics engine now spans the ten equipment families that make up almost all oil & gas facilities — compressors, pumps, heat exchangers, vessels, fired heaters, piping and more — so a machine behaves for a real engineering reason, not a scripted animation. A new no-code Create mode lets a non-programmer turn any 3-D model into an interactive, self-explaining training twin in minutes.
IRVINE, CA — August 4, 2026 — EON AI Ventures today announced a major expansion of EON Live, its browser-based system for learning on a real, living machine. EON Live now carries a physics engine that covers the ten equipment families found across virtually every oil & gas facility — and a new step-by-step Create mode that lets people with no programming skills build their own behaving twin of any machine, in about seven clicks. It runs in an ordinary web browser: no headset, no install — you open a link and the machine is alive.
A machine that behaves for a real reason
Most training “3D” is a video or a cartoon: the gauges move because someone animated them. EON Live is different. Under every machine sits a small physics “brain” running real engineering formulas — squeeze gas and it gets hot, a pump has a performance curve, heat flows from hot to cold. So when you close a valve and the pressure climbs, it climbs the way the real machine would. What you learn is cause and effect, not a memorized script.
One engine, ten machine families — so it scales to anything
The breakthrough in this release is coverage. Rather than hand-build physics for thousands of individual machines, EON Live recognizes that almost all oil & gas equipment falls into about ten families. EON built a real physics engine for each family; every specific machine simply borrows the right one and plugs in its own numbers. Load a pump and it runs pump physics; load a separator and it runs vessel physics. A machine type EON does not yet have falls back to a general-purpose engine so it still behaves sensibly — and the system says so honestly. Each engine is tested against real engineering relationships and shows exactly how sure it is: enough to teach cause and effect today, with a clear path to matching a specific unit’s datasheet for full accuracy.
Build your own training twin — no code, seven steps
The second headline is Create mode: a guided, no-code path from a 3-D model to a finished, shareable training twin. A trainer or engineer who has never written a line of code can:
- Select — pick a machine from the library, or drop in your own 3-D file.
- Confirm — check the parts the system recognized — green means sure, amber means please check.
- Physics — the right physics engine is chosen automatically for that machine.
- Numbers — set the pressures and temperatures — from a datasheet, a preset, or a real incident.
- Teach — pick a real incident and it fills in the numbers and arms the fault for you.
- Run — press RUN — the twin behaves live, with its own physics.
- Publish — name it and get a link you can hand to anyone, no login required.
Everything the author picks appears on the live 3-D machine as they go, and the finished twin opens for the next person straight from a web link.
Four ways to learn on the same live machine
- Learn with Play — walk a real machine at your own pace and see the hidden dangers — the live pressure, heat, power and vibration — made visible.
- Explain — ask “why?” and the machine shows the physics behind each step, so the reason sticks, not just the sequence.
- Break it (safely) — cause a real incident — surge, a dead-headed pump, a blowdown — and watch it unfold and learn the fix, with no risk to anyone or anything.
- Situation Room — a library of 120 real incidents, each ready to drop onto a machine — pick one and the twin sets itself up to teach that exact scenario.
“We set out to make training on real equipment as easy as opening a web page — and to make the machine genuinely behave, not just play a video,” said Dan Lejerskar, Founder of EON Reality. “With this release, EON Live covers the ten machine families that make up an oil & gas plant, and anyone — not just a programmer — can build their own behaving twin in a few clicks and share it with a link. That is how you scale real, physics-based training to a whole workforce.”
Why it matters
- Coverage — ten equipment families in one engine means most machines in a plant can be brought to life, not just a lucky few.
- Anyone can author — a no-code, seven-step flow puts twin-building in the hands of trainers and engineers, not just developers.
- Real, not scripted — every gauge moves for a real engineering reason, and each engine states how confident it is.
- Zero friction — it runs in any browser — no headset, no install — and a finished twin is shared with a single link.
