PC based learning with Virtual Reality Simulations means taking the user into a virtual test environment. These can be rooms, landscapes or underwater worlds where machinery is operated, vehicles are controlled or superstructures are built.

Recovery or destruction of hazardous materials with remote controlled robotic vehicles, or so-called manipulators, is an example of Virtual Reality training developed by us. The user can learn and practice the handling of such virtual manipulators while avoiding the danger of causing costly damage.

To achieve a simulated scenario like this, firstly a realistic 3D model of the vehicle is produced. Then realistic environmental conditions can be developed and physical properties can be produced for the vehicle.

And: To adapt the learning and practising even more to realistic conditions, the operators control the vehicle in the Virtual World with the original, real-world operating console connected to the PC.
