Training method going commercial

摘要

INITIAL COMMERCIAL CONTRACTS are focused on mine safety with New South Innovations (NSi), the technology commercialisation division of UNSW, signing a multi-million dollar agreement to supply VR technologies to Coal Services Pty Ltd (CS) for safety training. This outcome follows a seven year development process within the School of Mining Engineering (SME) at UNSW in collaboration with CS. Similar to a giant sophisticated computer game, each interactive software module recreates mine environments for various training scenarios which are displayed in multiple theatre modes, including a 360-degree AVIE (Advanced Visualisation and Interaction Environment) version for group training and a 180-degree iDome for individual training sessions.
