Q1 2019 - VR Crane Simulator Spotlighted in Research Study
New original research conducted by FMI Corporation (www.fminet.com), aims to deliver insight into the following research thesis by answering three overarching questions:
- What are the true costs of training and evaluating aerial lift and crane operators?
- What are the perceptions of current training and evaluation?
- What are the perceptions of legacy simulators and immersive virtual reality (VR)?
