The Challenge
Manual boom lift training often results in equipment misuse, inconsistent handling techniques, and limited visibility into operator performance. The client required a modern training system that could replicate real-world risks without endangering operators or assets, while providing measurable insights for certification and ongoing upskilling.
Spatio built a Hybrid Boom Lift VR Training Simulator, bridging virtual practice with real controller mechanics to improve operator readiness and reduce incidents.
The simulator recreates articulated boom lift operations, including arm articulation, base rotation, and height maneuvering. Trainees start in a Learning Mode with guided instruction before advancing into Track Mode, where they are timed and scored on control precision, safety protocols, and operational efficiency.
The hybrid model enhances realism by enabling operators to train with real boom lift controls mapped to virtual environments. This hands-on approach accelerates onboarding, reduces equipment misuse, and ensures operators are fully prepared for live scenarios.
