The dangerous nature of industries like mining, construction, policing and the military make it difficult to adequately train staff in a realistic environment. Most training methods are both costly and inadequate.

The solution developed by UNSW provides a virtual version of the dangerous environment. This removes the risks and costs of training people in the dangerous real world by immersing the trainees in a highly realistic 3 dimensional virtual world.

The UNSW solution combines interactive computer game style training modules with highly immersive audio / visual environments, known as the AVIE and the iDOME.

NSi is seeking companies interested in purchasing the solutions for training purposes, or companies interested in selling and supporting these solutions to specific geographical and/or industry sectors. Similarly, NSi is interested in working with industry partners that require UNSW to custom build interactive virtual reality training modules for their specific industry situations.
