Real Training
Product:
Real Training AS is a Norwegian technology business focusing on research, development and training using virtual reality. By using virtual reality, fire training can be moved into the meeting room. This way the exercise can be performed anywhere anytime throughout the year, lowering training costs and increasing turnaround. Participants awaiting training are available for regular tasks.
The participant sees the room and experiences the fire through VR glasses, and is able to move around freely. The training happens indoors at their own workplace, extinguishing a virtual fire which is perceived as very realistic.
Pivot has collaborated with Real Training in a couple of series: Series 1 and 2. For Series 1, Real Training needed hardware to merge with their software for a complete training solution. The main focus was system setup, equipment overview, equipment protection, robustness, user immersion, assembly and maintenance.
VR technology moves along fast. We wanted to be able to keep up with the changes in hardware and give Real Training a competitive advantage. We used 3D printing to allow for rapid updates to the parts as new technology arrives to the market. Usually, when large investments are made in tooling using other production methods than 3D printing, it is much harder to justify making changes. Series 1 was a big success resulting in a cooperation agreement between Real Training and Securitas, signed in July 2016.
