An Enhanced and Interactive Training Model for Underground Coal Mines Using Virtual Reality

To solve the problems that occur during the training of coal mining, this study has developed a VR-based user interactive solution with which immersive virtual training will be provided to the miners before going into real fieldwork, and workers can get the in-handed experience of safety and precautions in coal mines. VR solutions for underground coal mining training can help the workers to skill up their workforce, especially for the young miners and better life-saving training. Maximum of the present VR-based education structures are lacking in a learning enjoy. But these structures adopt training and mastering functions via player interatcion with the assist of 3D coal mine VR schooling models. The system can be efficiently implemented in a laboratory environment. The proposed model provides four types of training - Coal digging and Loading, Fire rescue operation, Disaster scenario, and mechanical operations. In all these operations, after wearing the VR headset instructions will be provided to the users step by step on what they must do accordingly. With the help of this solution, miners can be trained to save their lives and handle the disastrous situation in coal mines. This will be a complete training for new miners.
