The brief
Goal
Deliver a 360 VR training program within 6 weeks that allows users to identify major unit components and navigate both interior and exterior environmentsβachieving a reduction of approximately 8,000 annual training hours.
Challenges
- Managing development within strict time and budget constraints
- Ensuring smooth cross-device compatibility within the Meta Quest ecosystem
- Providing equipment familiarity without physical access to the unit or SMEs
Learning Objectives
By the end of the module, learners will be able to:
- Identify the three main component types: Power, Network, and CMCS
- Locate the Entrance, Sections 01 and 02, Battery Compartment, and HVAC/Purge System
- Understand the purpose and function of key RCS Unit components
