Learn to dig the excavator without going to Lanxiang: VR crane simulator is coming

Industrial Training InternaTIonal is launching the VR Mobile Crane Simulator at the ConExpo Machinery Show in Las Vegas in March. The simulator, combined with the Oculus Rift and other components, reduces training costs compared to traditional VR solutions and real-world solutions. In September last year, Industrial Training International (ITI) announced a "VR Mobile Crane Simulator".

The movement here is compared to a large crane, not a smartphone optimized for VR. The project was created in conjunction with Canadian developer Serious Labs Inc. The system was launched in March and has been beta tested since October last year.

The simulator uses the Oculus Rift helmet and comes in two forms: the table top and the sports base. Both use the same control system, including five joystick modules. The five joystick modules are interchangeable and can be matched to the joystick actually used by the user. Such a layout accurately reproduces the ergonomics of the crane in a virtual environment. In addition, the crane pedal is also coming soon.

The modular design allows the user to customize additional functions such as force feedback joysticks. The sports base version uses the same rocker layout, but does not provide a fixed table, only a separate joystick module and a chair with four actuators. This creates a convincing sense of movement. As shown, the Xbox One joystick is only a temporary solution, while the desktop is available separately.

Caleb Steinborn, ITI VR Product Manager, explains the practical effects of MoTIon Base. Motion Base is also being used in their Serial Work Platform simulator - a joint development of another Serious Labs equipment rental giant, United Rentals. “I have seen too many people’s fear of heights when hanging AWP simulators, and all these trainings have not left the ground. The real experience is different from anything else in the past.”

The system makes people feel that the crane is really hanging in front of it. This is the case with the Aerial Work Platform, where mechanical feedback minimizes motion sickness. The same is true for cranes, the acceleration is not very high, so there is no nausea, but it can give people an unusually strong feeling when the crane lifts a million tons of objects.

Incremental Encoder

Motion Control Sensor is an original part that converts the change of non-electricity (such as speed, pressure) into electric quantity. According to the converted non-electricity, it can be divided into pressure sensor, speed sensor, temperature sensor, etc. It is a measurement, control instrument and Parts and accessories of equipment.
