Unareti VR training centre
A virtual environment for practising medium-voltage substation procedures.
Inside the projectThe challenge
How do you train on facilities that must remain in service, with limited time and instructor availability?
For A2A / Unareti, we designed a virtual reality training centre: an environment to repeat procedures, receive guidance and then put skills to the test.
Our contributionExperience design, 3D environments, interactions and application development for Meta Quest 3.
Inside the experience
In a neutral space, people learn how to move and grasp objects. Their hands become the interface, without controllers.
A gradual introduction to the experience, including for people using VR for the first time.
Inside the virtual substation, instructions and holographic hands guide each step. Tutor support can be called up whenever it is needed.
Guidance stays close to the action: showing what to do, exactly where it needs to happen.
Guidance gives way to independent performance. Time, errors and help requests form a final summary that informs the next practice session.
Feedback makes the attempt visible. People can repeat the exercise or return to guided mode.
Working together
Working with Unareti’s technicians shaped the procedures, environments and feedback.
Actions, objects and steps defined with the experts. Photographs of the facilities provide references for the 3D environments.
The tutor appears as hands only, keeping attention on the task. Visual and audio cues help users understand what is happening.
Successive headset builds and technical feedback allow interactions, sequences and feedback to be reviewed.
What it makes possible
Repeat a task. Call up guidance. Review an attempt. The simulator brings these possibilities into technical training.
Project documentation reports positive initial feedback, with integration into training programmes still under way.
From their need to yours
Let’s start with your team’s activities.
Together, we assess what could become a training experience.
