Immersive Tech in the Energy Sector: Increase productivity with ease

Energy

Viewport has worked with the biggest names in the energy sector, creating a broad range of solutions using immersive technology.

Increase productivity with ease. The confidence and safety virtual reality brings to the energy sector pays in dividends. Using digital twins of live operations, you can be sure that your workforce is up to speed. Our Extended Reality (XR) solutions encompass augmented reality, virtual reality, and CGI.

Minimise overheads, while you maximise outputs, safely. Integrating XR empowers employees on site, and in office. When you create an integrated workforce you reduce the skill blockages that cause delays and oversight.

Augmented Reality headsets allow you to track industrial events as they happen. Guide your tactical improvements in mining processes with data our software solutions compile. Giving a clear view of operational performance.

Safety & Process: Virtual Reality Training

VR safety training for the energy sector reduces training expenses and eliminates potential for injury. No more maintenance costs, or logistical effort. No more expensive (or otherwise inaccessible) equipment required to train on. You can now train employees on any equipment or process imaginable in the safety of a controlled environment and have rock solid evidence of each employee completing their training.

median recall accuracy in industry VR training

With a median recall accuracy percentage of 90.5% for immersive HMDs – head-mounted (extended reality) displays – compared to desktop display’s 78.6%, the long-awaited study has further validated the efficacy of virtual reality training as a learning tool over traditional e-learning methods.

Put in the context of a standard grade scale, at 90+ percent recall, XR training would score in the A-range, while desktop computer training would be stuck back in the C’s.

Our Experience

INPEX contracted Viewport to create a high-risk control virtual reality safety simulation. Traveling to the site, we spent three days filming using stereoscopic 360-degree video.  We then developed the custom-built step by step training experience, which allowed a user to go through all the correct safety procedures before operating heavy machinery.

For Woodside, we developed a “Hazard Identification” platform. Built using stereoscopic 360 video capture, we captured it all onsite at KPMG Karratha. It allows staff from all over the world to train in a real world plant environment, avoiding the danger (and expense) of extra personnel in a live plant. The simulation allowed recreation of dangerous scenarios such as containment leaks, high temperatures and trip hazards, which cannot safely be trained on in the real world.

In another VR training simulation built for Alcoa, Viewport created digital twins of their substations, including all relevant tools, equipment and PPE. We then integrated our art assets with our software development pipeline and replicated the work process in VR.

Our team used precise hand tracking technology on the Oculus Quest 2 and built multiple options and scenarios for personnel to train on. This allowed the training of Alcoa personnel in extremely hazardous scenarios before they stepped foot on site.

Testimonials

It is exactly what we wanted.

It was amazing to see the nursing homes come to life in this immersive virtual reality environment. We were so pleased with what we ended up with.

Reliable and great to work with

We are stoked with the product visualiser content Viewport created. The VR and Hololens is a huge hit at expos, and the AR app on phones is brilliant.

It lets us send our gigantic engineering right into the palms of anyone’s hands around the world. The software they built is easy to use, the attention to detail is terrific, and the team is reliable and great to work with.

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for AR or VR tech.

Epic work, team!

This animation has helped to illustrate what we're working towards at BHP's South Flank - it's successfully supported our narrative and built excitement.

We've used it as a valuable tool in recruitment, global conferences, social media, & internally to tell our story. It's a quality product - thank you. 🏆

Dedication, Flexibility and Partnership

Partnering with Viewport to develop the immersive virtual and augmented reality Mini Mine game for the Resource Technology Showcase ( RTS) was a fantastic experience from start to finish.

We set out to create something that would engage and inspire the next generation-and the result exceeded all expectations. The Viewport team brought creativity, technical expertise and a genuine passion for making mining accessible and fun. The Mini Mine game was a huge hit at RTS, drawing in students, teachers, and even industry leaders. The interactive mini-games and clever design transformed the complexity and scale of our operations into something accessible, compelling, and truly inspiring for kids to engage with, while also showcasing the excitement of digital innovation in our industry.

We’ve had incredible feedback from everyone involved and the game has become a valuable tool for our ongoing outreach and education efforts. Thank you to the Viewport team for your dedication, flexibility and partnership. We’re proud of what we achieved together and look forward to building on this success in the future.

Just amazing to work with

Julius & the Viewport team were fantastic at understanding our priorities and were just amazing to work with. Flexible, accommodating & always offering full support/confidence to make our AR app come to life.

Software integration to our existing systems was also key to success and their understanding and problem solving around this was impressive. Our app My Pool Design is something we are very proud and we are getting great feedback from the users.

Great job team. We are now working together on the next project.
