Here is a screenshot from the Nutrien VR Training we developed for the Oculus Quest. It was to train workers how to check the ceiling of a mine shaft for weak spots by doing a sounding test. They would walk in a specific pattern to tap the ceiling with a metal rod and listen for the changes in sound as they tapped. If the sound was hollow that meant that it was unsafe, and they had to bring in a bolting machine to install reinforcement bolts into the unstable area.

We were happy to launch the VR Snowplow Trainer for the Ministry of Highways complete with custom peripherals. You can see Mike here doing some final testing before deployment and he finds out how hard it is to operate a Snowplow (will replace video/views with a better one once back into our office due to Covid19). We custom built the steering, brakes and joystick hardware system along with the software and deployed it on our VR Distribution platform for administration and tracking. #virtualreality #trainingsolutions #snowplow #safetytraining #customvr https://lnkd.in/dgxRp3t
