What system is in place to verify the identity of participants and assess their learning individually?

Identifying the participants will need to be done either at the physical site before training or via video if training is done remotely. There is still no viable way to do this accurately, but we are exploring various means of doing this based on their interaction.
Regarding individual learning, it is done by Instructors based on their assessment of the participants’ results. The analytics module we are developing focuses on supporting the Instructors in making this evaluation.

When participants use the VR system remotely, what measures are taken to ensure their safety during the training sessions?

We have made a Risk assessment for remote training that is part of the assessment from DNV.

How does the VR solution ensure a high level of realism in simulating wind turbine environments?

We draw on more than 7 years of experience collaborating with OEMs such as SGRE and GE, where we are the primary supplier of turbine-specific VR digital training.
We have developed more than 5 full turbine simulators with them, where each turbine simulator covers weeks of technical training and comprises more than 6,000 individual components and more than 7.000.000 interactions.

In addition to this, we also bring in instructors from our customers to give feedback and validate training and modules before we release the course for general availability.

If the VR solution involves recording participants, how is their consent obtained?

We follow GDPR guidelines and are currently not recording the users’ interactions. When we start recording users, they will be prompted with clear details of what we track, why we track it, and how long it is stored.
You can see what data we store and how we handle it here: https://www.kanda.dk/legal

Does the VR system have the capability to track and assess whether participants have achieved their learning objectives? How is this assessment conducted?

We are currently developing our analytics module, and it will be an ongoing effort over the next few years to expand the tracking and representation of this data to help the instructor evaluate it.

What specific procedures are in place for the use of VR technology in training? How do these procedures address the limitations of VR and enhance learning opportunities?

We have created an extensive lesson plan for each course detailing where VR can be used, and where Traditional or Physical training should be used.

This lesson plan is based on our experience and can be used in its entirety or modified by you to the extent you wish. We also advise you through the Train the Trainer procedure on how best to integrate and compensate for the limitations of VR while getting the most out of the new learning opportunities.

Given that skills and abilities require real-work situation simulations, how does the VR environment replicate the motor functions, spatial understanding, and tactile elements necessary for wind turbine operations?

Our top priority is not to take digital training beyond what it can handle safely and thus endanger people. One way of doing this is by working with class societies and getting feedback from GWO and our customers throughout the course development. To ensure we do what VR is great at and do not go beyond its capabilities.
VR is great at teaching procedures, so we focus on that.
For every individual course, we make sure to point out where you will need physical equipment to assist with the virtual training.

We can track the user’s progress when working with VR and digital tools. We can get this data from the VR headset and into the dashboard for the instructors to use. These analytics will be accessible to you at a later stage.

You can do this with the VTP dashboard. This is the management system of all the courses, participants, and organizations. Just sign up and start exploring: https://app.kanda.dk/

Right now are only working with Meta hardware (Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3). One of the reasons for this is the high quality and reliability of the hardware. Another reason is accessibility, and they can be bought in most parts of the world. You can find more information here: https://www.kanda.dk/knowledge/select-headset
