Mining simulator
open-in-new
<p>A mining simulator is a type of <a href="/facts/Simulation/Q4QJV1oI">simulation</a> used for entertainment as well as in training purposes for mining companies. These simulators replicate elements of real-world <a href="/facts/Mining/g6uDIFab">mining</a> operations on surrounding screens displaying <a href="/facts/3D_computer_graphics/zlWW6eaF">three-dimensional imagery</a>, <a href="/facts/Motion_platform/Ny2QNhK2">motion platforms</a>, and scale models of typical and atypical mining environments and machinery. The results of the simulations can provide useful information in the form of greater competence in on-site safety, which can lead to greater efficiency and decreased risk of accidents. </p>
