The Future of Construction Opened Up by METATORE: Hands-On Training in VR

Digital transformation comes to the construction industry

The construction industry is now undergoing a major transformation. Instead of skills training that relies on conventional on-site work, new learning methods that make use of digital technology are needed. Amid this shift, METATORE is drawing attention as an innovative platform that is opening up the future of the construction and civil engineering industry.

At the XR & Metaverse Fair held in November 2024, many people from the construction industry experienced METATORE's advanced technology. In this article, we take a detailed look at the future METATORE is making possible and its potential.

What is METATORE?

METATORE is a training platform that realistically reproduces construction sites using VR (virtual reality) and digital twin technology.

Key features of METATORE

1. Faster skill development for operators A VR environment that allows repeated practice lets even beginners acquire skills in a short time. Comparative analysis with experienced operators clarifies each trainee's progress, enabling efficient training.
2. Realistic construction simulation Actual construction sites are 3D-scanned, and construction processes are reproduced in a realistic virtual space. Workers can carry out practical training in a safe environment.
3. Skill assessment and progress tracking Each worker's proficiency is quantified, and individual feedback is provided. Heavy equipment operating skill and construction accuracy can be assessed in real time.
4. Stronger safety training Through simulations of work at height and hazardous locations, workers can thoroughly learn measures for preventing accidents.
5. Remote training and collaboration Over a network, workers at multiple locations can train at the same time. The platform also includes features that let instructors monitor and coach remotely.
6. Training for changing conditions Changes in weather and different ground conditions are reproduced to strengthen the ability to respond under a variety of construction conditions.

Response to METATORE at the XR & Metaverse Fair

At the XR & Metaverse Fair held in November 2024, we set up a hands-on booth featuring an actual excavator VR simulator, letting many visitors experience METATORE's performance for themselves.

Visitor feedback

• "Being able to learn realistic heavy equipment operation in a virtual space is groundbreaking. It's ideal for training new employees." (Construction company president)
• "VR-based safety training will be an important step before going to an actual site." (Safety manager)
• "Because you can simulate construction processes, it helps optimize schedule management." (Construction manager)

The future METATORE brings to the construction industry

1. More efficient workforce development in construction

In conventional training, veteran workers had to coach newcomers. With METATORE, however, workers can practice repeatedly in a virtual space, making it possible to become proficient in a short time.

2. Safer construction

On construction sites, where accidents are common, safety measures are extremely important. With METATORE, actual accident cases can be reproduced for safety training with realistic scenarios. This raises workers' safety awareness and can significantly reduce the risk of accidents.

3. Higher productivity and lower costs across the industry

By using METATORE's simulation features, you can identify issues before construction and prevent problems before they occur. This not only leads to shorter construction periods and lower costs but also enables projects to run smoothly.

4. Advancing sustainable construction DX

As the digital shift progresses across the construction industry, METATORE is at the forefront. Construction management using VR, AI, and digital twins will likely become the new standard for the construction industry of the future.

Summary

METATORE is a groundbreaking training platform that is opening up the future of the construction and civil engineering industry. Through advanced construction training in virtual spaces, it improves workers' skills, safety, and productivity.

In the construction industry of the future, new forms of training that use digital technology will become essential. By introducing METATORE, it is possible to make the construction sites of the future safer and more efficient.
