Hi Friend,
VR Mobile Crane Simulator Announced from ITI
Woodland, Washington | September 8, 2016
Industrial Training International (iti.com), a world leader in training and technical services regarding cranes, rigging, lift planning and rigging engineering has announced the development of a virtual reality (VR) mobile crane simulator product which it plans to formally unveil at ConExpo (www.conexpoconagg.com) in March 2017.
The VR Mobile Crane Simulator product development began in August of 2016 following an ITI Customer Advisory Meeting held at Mammoet USA headquarters in Rosharon, Texas that hosted 30 participants focused on discussing a few key initiatives that the company proposed for consideration, including VR. This event was hosted by Sheldon Redpath, Global Head of SHE-Q for Mammoet (pictured to the right using an Aerial Work Platform VR Simulator), in an effort to advance the 
crane and rigging industry in a few key ways utilizing recent technological advancements.
Prior to ITI's customer meeting, it had developed strong ties with two organizations as it began investigating the VR space, "We have been interested in simulation-based training solutions for several years and had nearly purchased our own simulators to distribute to customers and use in training. We principally decided against these investments as we didn't believe existing simulators would deliver enough value to our customers at the costs required mainly due to high price points and the inability to process enough trainees in a given year because of general immobility. A survey we conducted earlier this year asked simulator owners their opinions about previous simulator experiences and they reflected negatively on the a few aspects we hope to remedy with our VR simulator development," ITI President Zack Parnell reflects.
