Leveraging VR to maximize uptime

Programme: Mechanical Engineering

Course: Project in MT2573 : Transformative PSS Innovation

Corporate partner: Volvo Construction Equipment

Challenge: To develop a solution utilizing product-service system approach to maximize uptime on construction site.

Solution: A VR-based heavy-equipment training simulation, designed to increase equipment efficiency and teach safety awareness.

Impact: A more available and sustainable way to train heavy-equipment operators.

Prototypes: The VR simulation was created using Unity and a plug in called AGX dynamics (Algoryx). The insight from this prototype highlights the importance of capturing the user’s engagment.
