AtLink is leveraging the new and rapidly advancing 3D technologies to lower the overall costs and increase safety in the training of operators of oil rigs, chemical plants and those that work in other remote, demanding environments. We are able to replicate very high fidelity emulations of operational scenarios that could previously only be achieved by riskier and more expensive on the job training. Few other visual mediums can match the power that 3D simulations have to offer: they supply a large amount of information in a short period of time, and are engaging and enjoyable. Simulation is particularly beneficial in risky, hands-on industries like oil and gas and chemical processing. 3D training combines course-ware, testing, and simulation into a unique learning system. At AtLink, we develop our 3D models to be as realistic as possible: we use the exact same environment, equipment, and practices that are used in the workplace that we’re modeling. It’s as close as the user will get to the real scenario. AtLinks previous work includes projects for major oil companies and affiliated subcontractors. Some benefits of 3D training include: • Largely reduced costs • 3D training can demonstrate unsafe situations that are too dangerous to show in real life • Trainees work at their own pace and can review drills until they understand them
