“Virtual reality will revolutionize the way underground miners are taught about safety,” said Nathan Parsons, Manager for Special Projects at Broadmeadow Mine.
“Up until now, the only way you could truly understand what you’re being taught is to actually experience it, and now, we can recreate real scenarios and put people in an immersive environment where they can learn hands-on.”
This undeground mine is training their workers on the underground mining experience, using virtual reality to teach operators about the hazards and risks before stepping foot underground.
