Education and training are undergoing a transformative revolution through XR technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). In particular, VR in the oil and gas industry is witnessing a profound impact. One of our clients encountered difficulties with conventional training approaches for subsea engineers. In their quest for a cost-effective solution, they sought a means to provide lifelike, hands-on experiences for more effective and efficient learning.
For the proposed immersive VR training for subsea gas and pipeline repair solutions, we developed an application in Unity. The application includes a comparable set of scenarios and tools used in real life, offering subsea engineers in training a realistic and immersive learning experience to swiftly address broken pipelines. The VR application simulated the undersea environment, enabling the engineers to practice repairs on virtual pipelines using the same tools and equipment they would use in a real-life situation, and following similar procedures.
Our in-house 3D designers created the entire environment for the solution that was similar to the real-life subsea pipeline setting from scratch. The immersive VR training for subsea gas and pipeline repair solutions had a significant impact on the client’s training program. The subsea engineers were able to gain hands-on experience in a safe and controlled immersive environment, which resulted in reduced errors and increased efficiency during real-life repairs. The learners were able to effectively learn the procedures via repetition and independent study, resulting in a longer retention of the processes. The application not only improved the training experience, but also shortened the training period and reduced training time and costs.

On the whole, VR has the potential to make industrial training safer, more cost-effective, and more effective in preparing employees for their jobs. As the technology continues to evolve and become more accessible, we can expect to see more widespread adoption of VR in industrial training programs.
