Abstract
3D simulators are not only used in flight applications. Oil & gas companies have been employing simulators in training, planning and testingfor many years. Drillers are educated in a 3D virtual environment featuring immersive 3D screens and real drilling operator chairs. The 3D technology is derived from gaming, with added data processing engines and accurate physical simulation. Techniques such as laser scanning are used to obstain the physical measurements of every oil rig correctly. The talk provides an insight into the building blocks of a simulator, typical architecture, and how oil & gas companies design simulators for their use today and in the future. Minority Report? Not quite, but still pretty cool.
