Abstract
A virtual reality forklift simulator and methods of use thereof are described. The virtual reality forklift simulate may simulate real-world physics providing comprehensive and accurate training to a user. The virtual reality forklift simulator may comprise one or more controllers, a non-transitory computer readable medium, and a processor. The virtual reality forklift simulator may provide a user with objectives to complete, guidance, and warnings of unsafe conditions.
Claims20
A method of training a user in operation of a forklift, the method comprising:
- providing a virtual reality forklift simulator including a virtual reality environment and a physics simulation system configured to simulate movement of a virtual forklift;
- receiving one or more user inputs for operating the virtual forklift in the virtual reality environment;
- simulating movement of the virtual forklift in the virtual reality environment using the physics simulation system, including adjusting a center of mass associated with the virtual forklift based on one or more operating conditions of the virtual forklift;
- and
- providing at least one of guidance or a warning to the user based on the simulated movement of the virtual forklift.
A virtual reality forklift training system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
- provide a virtual reality environment including a virtual forklift;
- receive user input for operating the virtual forklift;
- simulate movement of the virtual forklift using a physics simulation system that adjusts a center of mass associated with the virtual forklift based on one or more simulated operating conditions;
- and
- output at least one of guidance or a warning based on the simulated movement of the virtual forklift.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- boot up a virtual reality forklift simulator including a virtual reality environment and a physics simulation system;
- receive user input corresponding to operation of a virtual forklift;
- simulate movement of the virtual forklift by dynamically adjusting a center of mass of the virtual forklift based on one or more simulated conditions;
- and
- provide at least one of guidance or a warning responsive to the simulated movement.
