Industrial Virtual Reality Simulator

All the results of training and exams, statistics, such as the time required to perform the technological cycle, typical errors, number of classes studied, etc. are added into the database  One of the most obvious and also effective applications of virtual reality in the industry is developing immersive training VR simulators. They serve as a vital tool, which helps trainees to get prepared for the unexpected and work through these situations in a risk-free learning environment. VR training simulators give users a possibility to dive into the completely artificial yet genuine circumstances, which makes them perfect for educating employees on the various scenarios they may face while doing their jobs.

For Toriy Scientific Production Association, United 3D Labs has developed a virtual klystron cathode calcination simulator. The simulator is designed to train young technicians who do not yet have experience of working with the equipment. There are several modes: learning, independent training, tests (with prompts available), and exam. Even total beginners, who have never had any experience of immersion in virtual reality, can operate it as there is a mode, which explains to users how to move around in virtual reality, how to use controllers, etc. The “time machine” feature reduces the time of operations that do not require trainee’s participation. For instance, the full technological cycle of production of an item takes 25 minutes in virtual reality instead of 12 hours necessary in the real world. This means that both the intensity and effectiveness of training increase significantly.

All the results of training and exams, statistics, such as the time required to perform the technological cycle, typical errors, number of classes studied, etc. are added into the database. This information could be also analyzed and taken into account in the human resources department of the company.
