Geotechnical Monitoring Center Simulator

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.

The player must remain attentive to alerts generated by various 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. replay complete game session for any user.

In addition to improving the results of training internal teams, we realized something that we had not mapped at the beginning of the project: training with Virtual Reality glasses also helped to generate empathy from people outside CMG. Whenever we receive someone who is indirectly involved in the process of activating sirens, they go through this experience, and this makes everyone better understand the decision-making routine of the emergency technician in the CMG room and the criticality of this process” .
