This study presents a multi-user virtual reality (VR) tool designed to enhance hands-on learning in engineering education through real-time sensorized digital twins. The motivation stems from the limitations of traditional laboratory settings, such as time constraints and restricted access physical equipment, which can hinder practical learning. developed environment allows multiple students, wearing VR headsets, interact simultaneously with synchronized model an engine, replicating its counterpart at Mechanical Engineering Laboratory Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Chile. novel integration twin technology offers students unique opportunity observe engine behavior operation within safe, controlled space. By bridging theoretical knowledge experience, this approach deepens understanding complex mechanical concepts while fostering development key technical skills. Additionally, use data visualization twins provides safer, more interactive, efficient alternative practices, overcoming like equipment availability. innovative method introduces Industry 4.0 principles, encouraging data-driven analysis informed decision making.
