A method and system to increase operator awareness for process control application providing operators team real time information on controlled process and equipment immersing them into augmented and virtual reality, provided by a computing system which collects and integrates data from process and equipment, leaving equipment, controls, and procedure unmodified. The method is creating an augmented and virtual reality for the operating crew, giving them real time supplementary information based on two types of simulation, one using models and one using process data and learning procedures, together with rich equipment data, equipment locator, enhanced communication and enhanced data acquisition from supplementary sources as surface and airborne robotic and operator headset additional equipment meant to monitor operator bio-parameters and operator's surrounding environment in order to assure that control is sound and sober, and operators are safe and secure all time providing an optimum high efficiency operation of the controlled process.
