SimG has successfully delivered an excavator VR simulator to a mechanical technical high school located in Incheon.
This delivery supports the school’s transition toward digital vocational education and lays the foundation for future-oriented hands-on training.
In cooperation with SimG, the school recently introduced the excavator VR simulator
as part of a project aligned with government initiatives to strengthen practical, work-ready talent.
Traditional theory-based lessons and limited hands-on training have proven insufficient in mastering heavy equipment operation.
In contrast, the VR simulator enables students to learn in a safe and repetitive environment, helping them develop real operational skills.
The simulator utilizes a PC-based software system combined with a VR frame, designed to enhance repetitive practice.
Students can simulate a variety of tasks such as transporting soil, leveling terrain, and avoiding obstacles in a virtual environment.
They also learn critical aspects of equipment operation, including field of vision and safety protocols.
Additionally, instructional visual aids explaining the exam process and control methods are installed on classroom walls,
enabling students to reference them during training. These materials significantly boost learning efficiency and complement instructors’ guidance.
Training with real excavators involves fuel costs, maintenance, weather constraints, and safety risks.
The simulator addresses these challenges by providing a comparable learning experience without the added burdens.
It also minimizes risks of accidents caused by inexperience, especially for beginners, and allows students
to practice at their own pace, supporting personalized skill development.
This initiative represents more than just the installation of new equipment—it marks a shift in vocational education paradigms.
SimG plans to continue developing VR content for heavy equipment training and expand distribution to vocational schools and public institutions nationwide.
This trend supports the cultivation of job-ready professionals and enhances the competitiveness of vocational education in response to industrial needs.
