A sea of challenges and traditional training costs

TGS faced the colossal task of training its crew for the intricate work aboard seismic vessels — a process fraught with high costs, safety risks, and a significant environmental footprint. Traditional training methods, while effective, struggled to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application without incurring substantial expenses or compromising on safety.

 

TGS’s leap into VR training

In an innovative collaboration with SynergyXR, TGS embarked on a digital transformation journey, utilizing VR to create a comprehensive digital twin of their Titan class vessel’s deck. This immersive platform enabled crew members to practice and perfect their skills in a risk-free environment, effectively bringing the high seas into the high-tech realm of VR.

It's very expensive to fly workers to training centers, you can buy a lot of VR headsets for the price of one person, on one course. That's the beauty of this, it scales so well.
