The CMG module was developed as a proof-of-concept in order to simulate Vale’s dam monitoring environment, generating a degree of high immersion with the virtual environment and helping to reinforce the learning process for performing procedures in emergency cases. The player must pay attention to alerts generated by different systems, make use of video monitoring systems and contact the correct entities for each case.
In addition to the immersive virtual environment, the application has a monitoring mode where a tutor can follow the user’s every step during the game session and interact with the alert triggering system. Additionally, the tutor can view a complete replay of any user’s game session.
