NZEB Retrofit Simulator - Immersive Virtual Reality for Technical Skills Training and Simulation
.svg){kind=small}
Transforming vocational education through immersive virtual reality simulation, repeatable practice, and applied learning.
Technical training providers often face challenges giving learners repeatable hands-on practice without material waste, safety risks, or costly physical mock-ups. WWETB sought a more effective way to support NZEB retrofit training while improving learner engagement and practical readiness.
Emagine developed an immersive virtual reality simulator designed to support technical skills training through interactive practice, guided decision-making, and repeatable learning scenarios. The aim was to complement traditional instruction with applied simulation that strengthens understanding through experience.
The simulator places learners inside a realistic retrofit training environment where they carry out tasks, make choices, and receive immediate feedback. Designed with curriculum goals in mind, the system supports practical learning, remote access potential, and scalable delivery across vocational training contexts.
The project established a model for how immersive virtual reality can support technical skills development, improve practical preparedness, and help training providers extend learning beyond conventional classroom methods.
