Simulators for Equipment Operator Training
Immersive Technologies has released
its next generation Advanced
Equipment Simulators—the PRO3 for
surface mining and the UG360 for
underground mining. Available in transportable
and classroom versions, the
PRO3 offers the important benefit of
remaining compatible with 500+ existing
Immersive Conversion Kits (interchangeable
machine controls), as well
as previously developed custom lessons,
scenarios and mine sites. This
allows AES 2 and AES Series 2B customers
to transition to the PRO3 without
having to replace existing
Conversion Kits and supporting systems.
Technological advances for the
PRO3 surface mining simulator include
a seamless 180° visual display system
and a unique feature that dynamically
adjusts the perspective of the operator,
providing a true real-world view outside
of the cabin while increasing the operator’s
level of depth perception.
Immersive Technologies claims the
UG360 underground equipment simulator
is the first of its kind to deliver the
level of realism accuracy required for
training, and includes a new 360° visual
system designed specifically for the
needs of underground mining. Both
simulators are equipped with new
motion platforms that are claimed to
accurately simulate the movement of
mining equipment.
