About the Project

Developed for SALT, this VR training solution helps employees practise proper inspections of transfer stations and landfills. The inspection module follows the government inspection process, giving teams a consistent way to work through their facility checks.

The experience was designed for locally operated waste facilities in remote communities. A self-contained headset keeps setup simple for learners with no previous VR experience. Training results and scores are saved offline and automatically uploaded when an internet connection is available.

Outcomes

The client needed to deploy a training system, in the most efficient manner, to several remote communities with locally run waste facilities. The system needed to be very user friendly, requiring no previous experience with a VR system. The headset was to be shipped to the communities where training was taking place, requiring very minimal setup. As well, to make the system easily transportable, it was to be a self-contained VR system that required no additional hardware. A comprehensive analytical system was also required to track who was taking the VR training and how well they scored, among a host of other requirements. Since some of the targeted communities were very remote without internet access, the data would need to be saved and then uploaded automatically when the headset had an internet signal. We modeled the inspection module after the government inspection process to ensure that the employees were using accurate training scenarios.

Benefits

We were able to provide SALT with all the required content while staying within the tight conditions. The user-friendly system was designed to not only be highly transportable and self contained, but it was also able to handle all the needs that SALT had requested. Over 50 headsets have been shipped to date containing the training software.
