Coal Mine Virtual Roaming VR Experience

System Content

The system is based on real above-ground and underground coal mine environments, utilizing digital modeling, material lighting, and special effects processing to achieve a highly realistic simulation of actual coal mine production environments. The software allows users to browse and learn in highly immersive scenes through VR interactive devices, including: simulated mine scenarios such as main and auxiliary shafts, pit bottom yards, mining faces, chambers, fan rooms, etc., enabling trainees to experience the mine environment firsthand. It covers various systems including coal mining, tunneling, electromechanical, transportation, ventilation, and drainage. The system provides audio introductions for important sites, roadways, and equipment.

System Functions:

1. User login authentication;

2. Users can navigate via menus and mini-maps.

3. The system realistically recreates underground mine production site models, leveraging head-mounted VR hardware to enable coal mine exploration. Trainees wearing VR devices enter a highly realistic virtual mine, learning about coal mines and basic mine knowledge through interactive operations.

4. Supports user interaction with virtual equipment in the virtual environment via VR controllers;

5. Supports user navigation in the system through controller operations;
