How are VR Simulations turning into Game-changer for Industries?

We’re entering an age where simulation is the new norm – not just for games but for almost all industries. Questions like these arise: What role do they play in developing our industries? What opportunities do they present? And most importantly: What should be done about it?

As the technology behind VR advances, these simulations will bridge knowledge gaps and facilitate new paradigms in areas such as safety, quality assurance, and product development.

A Paradigm Shift in Adoption of VR Simulations

Virtual reality has been in the spotlight for a couple of years now. With all the hype, and the billion-dollar investments happening in this domain, it is now penetrating the mainstream consciousness that's making industry heads sit up and take notice.

Using simulation tools can help an industry by creating a realistic environment to conduct research, develop business strategies, and convince customers that their products or services are good enough to warrant an investment.

VR simulations can help identify problems before they happen so that you can come up with potential solutions. Public acceptance of new technology relies on two factors: cost reduction and user comfort. In the case of simulation technology, cost reduction requires a reduction in hardware or software development costs.

Several industries stand to benefit from VR simulations. After all, they offer the best solutions for time, cost-effectiveness, safety, risk mitigation, and management problems when applied in different industries.

How are VR Simulations a Game-changer for Industries?

 It is well known in the industry that the best way to accelerate innovation is to simulate. This is precisely what is happening with VR simulation. By simulating an experience, an industry can quickly figure out how an alternative solution might work and implement it.  

Innovation drives success. Economic growth, increased productivity and societal well-being lead to more innovation. But it isn't easy to get investment, support and talent if you aren't publicly mapping the process or sharing tangible results.

The discussion with Shantanu Gupta (Founder of Tecknotrove Systems) shed light on the applications and benefits of VR simulations across three major industries. This interactive episode moderated by Pradeep Khanna from VRARA unveiled 3 case studies around the automobile, aviation, and mining industries.

In the VRARA session, the discussion reinforced our belief that,

"Virtual reality holds power to "revolutionize" every industry and "transform" how we look at technology to generate industry-ready applications."

 Automotive Industry

Virtual Reality (VR) simulation has proved its mettle in training, exploring and prototyping new automotive designs, offering unique insights into what factors hold back human abilities and how these can be improved in real-life situations.

Designing prototypes virtually helps both drafting & engineering units in creating better car models in terms of size and capacity. Moreover, this entire process also allows you to test various design aspects, such as visibility and road readiness.

Virtual reality simulation integration into these processes, along with advancements in virtual reality software, has led to a surge in VR simulator solutions that can help reimagine the automotive industry in new and improved ways.  

The power of virtual reality (VR) simulators enables engineers and automotive companies to leverage improved technologies of their designs and scale up to more efficient products for the market.

Aviation Industry

Estimates stated that aviation's virtual reality and augmented reality market would grow by more than $1372 million by the end of 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 61.2 percent.

VR is revolutionizing the way aviators train, view and understand complex flight procedures. 

It is now being used in the aviation industry to enhance training sessions, streamline the certification of pilots in flight training, and even make maintenance training more effective and safer.

It's no secret that the aviation industry is expensive. Perhaps one of the most complex, intricate, and vast sectors in the world today. A single mistake or fault can have a catastrophic impact on an airline's business. Given the high stakes involved with every flight, it is no surprise that the industry is looking for ways to improve safety measurements and save on training costs.

Mining Industry

Training in VR mining helps operators run mining drills day and night without impacting the resources or workers. VR allows stakeholders to understand the operations process completely. 

The training modules make it possible to allow teams to practice their skills before they start working in real-world mining sites. This eliminates the need for training in hazardous areas and reduces the cost of training significantly.

With increasing technological advancements, mining companies are now turning towards VR (virtual reality) simulations to enable operators, miners, and workers to be trained safely. Mining is a demanding and risky job as it calls for heavy lifting and requires expertise in certain areas. With the help of VR training technologies and their benefits, such an extreme scenario can be avoided leading to a better mining experience in the future.

Creating a Unique Perspective with VR Simulations

Virtually every industry is looking at ways to increase their productivity through simulation. They provide a great toolset for users and industries alike to try out new ideas, concepts, or real-world solutions while advancing their goals. 

The adoption of VR technology will continue to grow as it becomes more comfortable and accessible for consumers, both mature and young.

Industry 4.0 is here - industries are learning how to leverage Virtual Reality technology for their own benefit and educating consumers about what they can expect from technological advancements like mixed reality platforms, devices and trends.

Developers have the upper hand in understanding the underlying technology, products and processes through virtual prototypes built by 3D modeling. It has opened up new possibilities that enable developers and engineers to create innovative and more powerful simulation techniques through brand new applications for commercialization.  

VR Simulations- It is more than just an experience- it is a game-changer!

 Simulations employ the use of intelligent systems and processes in an environment to evaluate and solve problems. This approach has proved fruitful in many industries. With the impact of climate change, deteriorating infrastructure, pandemics and wars becoming ever more real, there is a strong need for more realistic simulations.

This gives rise to the integration of VR simulation with futuristic platforms like JioGlass, which takes advantage of current and future technological advances to portray entirely new worlds with the potential to make a real difference in the world.

VR is being used to make simulated scenarios more believable and vivid than ever before. Over time, it's expected that these simulations will become indistinguishable from real life.

 Occasionally, a revolutionary technology sweeps the globe and changes how we live, work, and play. VR Simulations are such a game-changer for many industry verticals.
