Virtual reality deployed to boost NZ’s biosecurity threat defences
[philnote: training, not inspection]
A collaboration between two Hamilton companies is using virtual reality to improve New Zealand's biosecurity defences by boosting the quality of shipping container inspection.
Independent Verification Services (IVS) in Hamilton has launched a new virtual reality (VR) container inspection simulation which tests and trains inspectors with a series of randomised threats.
The Ministry of Primary Industries has approved the technology, built by Hamilton-based Company-X, to be used in biosecurity refresher training for "accredited persons" (APs), the people employed to carry out inspections.
