Exploring the Power of VR for Industrial Training: A Windmill Demo by NecPlus
This small demo project showcases some of the key benefits of using Virtual Reality (VR) for industrial training. In this example, a simple windmill system is displayed both in full scale on the floor and as a small model, allowing users to explore the components and grasp how the system works. Users can interact with the parts, take them apart, and examine them up close—something that’s impossible in the real world.
Interact in Ways That Are Impossible in Reality
In VR, users can follow a guided tour that takes them to the top of the windmill. This demonstrates how trainees can be guided step by step through training scenarios. Conditions can be set that only allow progress once a step is completed. While this is a simple example, NecPlus can design much more complex training scenarios based on project requirements.
Step-by-Step Training in VR
VR also offers a safe way to simulate hazardous situations, providing users with a realistic feel for potentially dangerous environments. In this demo, a maintenance operator experiences confined spaces and working at heights, all while safely navigating the top of a windmill from the office.
The First Time Up a Windmill Doesn't Have to Be the First Time!
This type of training can also be built for a multi-user experience, enabling trainers to be present in the virtual environment with one or more trainees, regardless of location. Whether you're in the same room, city, or country, VR allows for seamless collaboration.
