The Ditch Witch virtual reality simulator familiarizes HDD operators with machine controls while helping to reduce the possible safety implications of putting them directly on a jobsite. The innovative experience provides an opportunity to simulate a real HDD jobsite via the technology’s two-screen display and joystick. On one screen, operators can simulate drill controls while getting a 3D look at the full HDD bore path on the other.
The simulator appeals to the next generation of learners through a digital training experience. The virtual, hands-on experience simulates a variety of drilling scenarios, including soil conditions, piping options and downhole tooling.
The VR HDD simulator will be available at CONEXPO/CON0AGG in the Ditch Witch Booth C31927 and at the Tech Experience.
