Allow engineers to simulate and interact with complex systems or machinery virtually. This ensures a deep understanding of their work before stepping into real-world applications.
Engineering projects often involve intricate tasks with little room for error. VR allows teams to practice as much as needed without disrupting ongoing projects or risking errors in critical systems.
Detailed analytics and training assessments ensure engineers are prepared, knowledgeable, and ready to apply their skills effectively in any situation.
Prepare engineers for hazardous conditions, such as working at heights or on complex machinery, without exposing them to danger.
Master intricate engineering procedures step by step. VR allows for skill development and expertise in a controlled, virtual setting.
Accelerate the onboarding process by allowing new engineers to familiarize themselves with tools, equipment, and systems virtually, so they’re ready to contribute from day one.
Solve complex engineering problems through realistic virtual scenarios, so teams can develop problem-solving strategies and implement solutions with confidence.
Bring engineers together in a virtual environment to collaborate on designs, troubleshoot issues, and simulate projects from anywhere in the world.
The first step to creating effective VR training content is defining your specific goals and required modules across the business. Whether it’s ensuring engineers are proficient in operating complex machinery, repairs and maintenance or following precise assembly procedures, we develop bespoke VR content tailored to your training needs.
Once your training modules are confirmed, our team collaborates closely with your subject matter experts to document processes step by step. This may involve capturing technical workflows and using 3D scanning to replicate environments like manufacturing plants, R&D labs, or assembly lines.
A realistic virtual experience enhances training effectiveness. Our talented 3D artists and designers recreate machinery, production lines, and engineering environments, whether it’s simulating aerospace components, automotive assembly, or civil engineering projects. These lifelike simulations mirror real-world conditions, allowing for accurate, hands-on training.
Once your environment is built, our development team begins creating and testing the training modules. We ensure that every detail meets the highest standards. This results in rigorous, immersive learning experiences that prepare your engineers for real-world challenges.
Once your training content is finalized and meets your expectations, you’ll gain access to a branded PORTAL—your dedicated learning management system for all VR content. Trainers and trainees can access class schedules, training materials, and performance analytics, all easily accessed through a VR headset for effective learning and skill development.
Effective training is supported by actionable data insights. At Luminous, we don’t just create VR training modules; we provide a dedicated learning portal tailored for your sector, complete with personalized dashboards for trainers and trainees. Manage training modules, schedule sessions, and equip your workforce with the tools they need to excel. Training data is seamlessly synced from VR headsets to your preferred LMS, driving continuous learning and development.
