Industry Training Using Virtual Reality

University of New South Wales, Australia

The dangerous nature of industries like mining, construction, policing and the military make it difficult to adequately train staff in a realistic environment. Most training methods are both costly and inadequate.

The solution developed by UNSW provides a virtual version of the dangerous environment. This removes the risks and costs of training people in the dangerous real world by immersing the trainees in a highly realistic 3 dimensional virtual world.
