Operator Training in Virtual Reality

Because of the rapidly growing battery industry, a large number of operators will need to be trained in a relatively short time to meet the need for operators. In this thesis, we look at how this could be done in a good and efficient way with the main focus on VR.

Two areas needed to be investigated in order to determine how operator training can be improved using VR. These two parts were "what does education and training look like today?" and "what difficulties exist?". These questions were then used to try to answer the question how VR can be used to improve education and training. In order to find out the answers to these questions, several people from both the battery industry and the education sector were interviewed.

The conclusion of the work was that there is great potential in using VR to train and educate operators. Where the industry is at the moment, it will not be good to use it as there are so many other obstacles that have to be overcome first. But in a few years when the industry has stabilized, VR can be a very good tool for training operators.
