ExxonMobil licenses EON Reality for Immersive 3D Operator Training Simulator technology

ExxonMobil Research Qatar (EMRQ) yesterday said ExxonMobil has awarded a global commercial licence for ‘Immersive 3D Operator Training Simulator’ technology to co-developer EON Reality.
The innovative technology incorporates “ultra-realistic, multi-angle immersive virtual reality for training process operators and engineers in oil and gas production, processing and transportation facilities.” 

EMRQ in a release said the technology enables effective training to take place in a safe and controlled environment.“The Immersive 3D Operator Training Simulator provides a realistic 3D virtual environment that is a very close replica of an operating plant,” said Sara Ortwein, president, ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company.

“These simulators are highly effective in training workers on how to prevent incidents, while teaching them to respond quickly and appropriately should any occur. This technology, developed in co-operation with EON Reality, is another example of how ExxonMobil continues to support research and safety, health and environmental protection across its global operations.”
