BUILT CoLAB collaborated with EPOS on the development of an immersive training platform based on interactive 360° videos, designed to bring technical training closer to the real-world conditions encountered in underground environments.
Available for virtual reality devices, such as the Meta Quest 3, and for Android, the solution was developed using content captured in a real-world mining environment by the BUILT CoLAB team. The platform enables trainees to follow operational procedures in a more immersive, engaging and contextualised way, contributing to the digitalisation and modernisation of internal training processes.
The experience incorporates various content formats, including 360° video, 2D videos, images, contextual information and learning questions synchronised with the procedures shown. This enables users to interact with the content throughout the training, benefiting from integrated assessment tools and a more dynamic learning experience.
Another key feature among those developed is the ability to switch between multiple synchronised viewpoints of the same operation, enabling a more comprehensive overview of the procedures carried out and a deeper understanding of the tasks under analysis.
This collaboration also made it possible to validate the potential of immersive technologies for the underground works sector, demonstrating the applicability of Virtual Reality and 360° video solutions in technical training and the transfer of operational knowledge.
Through this initiative, BUILT CoLAB and EPOS are reinforcing the role of immersive technologies as tools to support professional development, bringing training closer to real-world conditions and contributing to more effective learning.
