The recent advancements in virtual reality hardware and software have made immersive VR training systems a top priority for the global mining industry as it struggles to overcome commercial and operational challenges.

With up to 75% increased retention rates and as much as a 40% increase in productivity, virtual reality training is creating a paradigm shift in the way organisations train and assess employees.

As one of the companies leading the way, bizAR Reality's revolutionary FusionMine virtual reality training platform is helping organisations improve safety, optimise performance, and drive efficiency.

The FusionMine VR training platform consists of a multi-user virtual reality training grid (FusionBloc) and mechanical vehicle simulators (FusionSim) that integrate into highly realistic virtual reality training courses.

Virtual Reality Training Courses Overview:

Each virtual reality training course is custom developed and designed as a multi-layered experience that provides trainees with accurate exposure to on-site working conditions and the associated risks.

Practical training courses range from simple HIRA assessments, barring, and vehicle inspections to more complex procedures such as marking the blast wall and vehicle operation. Incident reconstruction training courses allow instructors to demonstrate how and why past scenarios occurred and showcase the correct procedures that help trainees avoid making similar mistakes.

Hardware Overview:

The FusionBloc training grid uses a series of advanced tracking devices and infrared sensors that capture, record and replicate people's physical movement in virtual reality. Advanced VR backpacks

allow trainees to walk around without tripping over wires and innovative hand controllers allow trainees to use their hands as opposed to generic VR controllers: creating a natural way of training.

Analytics and human behaviour allow mining organisations to improve best practices and learn from mistakes made within the mine, creating a powerful training tool and unique insight into the human behaviour of trainees.

The modular design of the FusionBloc tracking grids allows organisations to train up to 25 people simultaneously. Furthermore, the system can be replicated at multiple locations around the globe.

How to get started:

There are a lot of unknowns when it comes to implementing virtual reality training systems. Who will be responsible? How do you gauge success?

bizAR Reality's systems and procedures are highly structured and optimised to ensure that each virtual reality training course undergoes a stringent process from ideation to implementation. Book a demo of the FusionMine training solution, and a consultant will walk you through every step of the way.
