VR: The Next Evolution for OSHA-Compliant PIT Training

Jun 1

02:30 PM - 02:55 PM

Description

From 2005 onwards, Forklift University has been at the forefront of training people in Powered Industrial Trucks (PITs). They do both OSHA-compliant training and issue OSHA certificates.

The brain retains more information from real-life experiences. The millennial generation requires training that captivates and teaches in a more visual manner. So, Forklift University needed a captivating solution for Gen Z while being user-friendly and adaptive for Gen Y to the boomers.

Also, when it comes to PITs training, safety is of utmost importance, followed by cost. They needed a solution that would enable their users to learn the dos and don’ts of forklift driving in a reasonably realistic warehouse setting.

Travancore Analytics (TA) has been a critical player in the extended reality domain. When Forklift University approached TA with the problem, TA suggested a combination of Metaverse and VR to achieve the intended needs. TA created a realistic warehouse and sit-down forklift using 3D software. The same was incorporated into a complex, yet user-friendly application developed using Unity. The application works in conjunction with HTC VIVE Pro 2, a VR head-mounted device. The combination allows the user to drive a virtual forklift in a virtual
environment and undertake training curated with OSHA guidelines in mind. With various training modules of varying degrees of difficulty and functionality, Forklift University can provide its users with close-to real-life forklift training with complete safety. With VR technology, we can create multiple PITs training software under various environments that replicate real-life challenges and incorporate several features that, in turn, develop more in-depth training software.

Digital Twins connect physical systems with virtual representations and models to allow for visual representations, integration of sensor data, and predictive capabilities for how assets or processes will behave in the future. Globally, organizations are grappling with the acceleration of remote operations and an increasingly prevalent skills gap. Forward-looking companies are addressing this problem by equipping their in-person, hybrid, and off-site teams with mixed reality (MR) solutions that enhance productivity capabilities especially when integrated with Digital Twins. In this session, learn how Sphere and AWS are working together to develop a digital workspace which enables professionals to communicate across languages, distances, dimensions, and time (with predictive capabilities). By partnering on initiatives which include TwinMaker and Lookout for Vision, as well as cloud rendering powered by AWS and its partners, Sphere’s cutting-edge solution is pioneering the future of collaboration, as well as expert assistance and workflow guidance using MR.

Description

Zheng Qin has since 2018 developed the cutting edge, wide FoV AR optics system called Mixed Waveguide, with the most advanced Crossfire solution that gives you a 120-degree FoV and is interchangeable between AR and VR. It’s even slimmer than most VR optics (including the Pancake solutions), so it could be the ultimate optical solution for AR & VR hybrid glasses. Zheng will walk you through the reasons why Crossfire is much better than its competitor Pancake +VST (video see-through) solution. Additionally, Zheng will introduce the whole family of Mixed Waveguide solutions, which has been adopted by many key clients around the world.
