  text: We present a data acquisition and visualization pipeline that allows experts
    to monitor additive manufacturing processes, in particular laser metal deposition
    with wire (LMD-w) processes, in immersive virtual reality. Our virtual environment
    consists of a digital shadow of the LMD-w production site enriched with additional
    measurement data shown on both static as well as handheld virtual displays. Users
    can explore the production site by enhanced teleportation capabilities that enable
    them to change their scale as well as their elevation above the ground plane.
    In an exploratory user study with 22 participants, we demonstrate that our system
    is generally suitable for the supervision of LMD-w processes while generating
    low task load and cybersickness. Therefore, it serves as a first promising step
    towards the successful application of virtual reality technology in the comparatively
    young field of additive manufacturing.
