VR Overhead Crane Inspection Assessment

This VR application is used to conduct practical exams at the conclusion of the ITI Overhead Crane Inspector Certification Collection.

 
The application is broken up into modules to allow the student maximum flexibility. Quizzes can be used as refreshers at any point to aid in skill and knowledge retention. 
 
The virtual reality (VR) environment allows each technician to personally "handle" the components of an overhead bridge crane. From checking oil levels in the gear box, examining a wire rope for broken strands, to running the crane and hearing the sounds that indicate a broken limit switch, this simulation invokes all the sense for a full immersive experience.
