VR for industry:
Mining and Energy
In mining and energy, safety and efficiency are paramount. Virtual reality allows companies to deliver high-impact safety training, site inductions, and emergency simulations in a safe, controlled and scalable way.
Case study example
We worked with Coexistence Queensland to develop a portable VR experience that educates landholders about gas infrastructure. The experience included a full-scale digital reconstruction of a well pad, including underground components, offering a level of visual clarity that would be impossible on-site. The kit was designed for regional travel and included a high-fidelity headset that fit in a backpack.
Why it works in VR
Mining and energy training often involves complex systems in hostile environments. VR recreates these systems in controlled conditions, giving users the chance to explore, make decisions and experience consequences without real-world risks.
What’s next
VR integrated with IoT sensors for real-time hazard simulation
Multi-user emergency response planning and collaboration
Realistic simulation of underground and confined environments
Greater transparency through public-facing VR content
Use cases
Site inductions that simulate real terrain, tools, and protocols
Hazard identification and mitigation exercises in realistic settings
Emergency response drills for fires, spills, and evacuations
Equipment operation and maintenance training
Community engagement and landholder education through virtual site walkthroughs
Key benefits
Dramatically improved safety awareness and response
Consistent training across all sites and personnel
Reduced need to access remote or dangerous locations for training
Lower cost and environmental impact for onboarding and education
Challenges VR helps solve
High risk of injury during traditional field training
Remote and geographically isolated worksites
Inconsistent safety knowledge among staff or contractors
Limited public understanding of industrial infrastructure projects
