Virtual reality and digital twin technology are being used in workplace training to allow for making mistakes without real-world consequences.
Researchers at Virginia Tech are developing tools to revolutionize training by creating a virtual reality system linked to a digital twin of a local electric substation.
This innovative training approach enables trainees to interact with the digital substation as if they were physically present, creating immersive hands-on learning experiences.
The use of digital twin and VR technology in training minimizes restrictions, increases flexibility, and provides opportunities for experimentation without impacting the real system or people.
