The Challenge
Transurb Simulation found its scaleable and affordable Nano Simulator – a physical simulation with a monitor, touchscreen, and physical controls – didn’t deliver enough immersion and impact on learning retention as the more costly, less scalable Full-Cab Simulator – a comprehensively-built clone of a train cabin for complete immersion.
Similarly, a need for onlookers in their training sessions to see what the learner in the simulation sees was paramount to uphold Transurb’s high standard of training quality.
Transurb needed to find the sweet spot between portability and immersion. At the same time, the train conductor and training industry increased their requests for cost-effective and immersive technology solutions.
the Solution
Transurb found that high-definition mixed reality could deliver the perfect combination of affordability, portability and immersion. They researched online and found VR Expert, contacted us and everything grew from there.
After understanding the needs and aims of the learner to see every detail in the 3D environment, our experts recommended the Varjo XR-3 mixed reality headset for its unparalleled human-eye resolution and immersion to be the perfect fit, and Transurb agreed.
Today, with the Varjo XR-3’s industry-leading immersion, a much more portable, cost-efficient, and scalable simulation is supplied to Transurb’s clients worldwide, bringing the Full-Cab Simulator experience in a Nano Simulator form factor for better memory recall and training retention.
