Reduction in Lost Time Injury rates by introduction of VR training
Case Study #1 VR Powered Training at The School of Mining Engineering, UNSW Australia
School of Mining Engineering enabled students go beyond the text book
Training Modules in the VR Suite:
• Self Escape: Emergency situation within a virtual simulation of a long wall mine
• Outburst: Virtual reproduction of an often-fatal outburst event, allowing students to investigate
• Terrain Exploration: Virtual surface environments that exist near a mineral deposit
• Mining in a Global Environment: Panoramic view of the Ranger Uranium Mine and its local environment
They partnered with industry professionals in building a comprehensive Virtual Reality Suite to train students
Case Study #2 How VR benefited a training services provider
Coal Services Pty Ltd. has developed the most advanced VR training simulator
Virtual Reality Simulations:
• Fully functional open cut and underground mines• Operational Longwall • Strata Control • Emergency Events• Safe Standing Zones• Mines Rescue Competitions
VR simulators deliver life saving outcomes by allowing trainees to practice in hazardous, virtually constructed scenarios
The most advanced VR training simulator includes curved screen, 360 degree theatre and the domes
Benefits of VR Training Simulator:• Trainees have multiplayer VR
training• Enabled off-site training• Reduction in transportation costs
