Application of Virtual Reality to Underground Engineering Problems
VR in engineering is the integration of geometric models with related engineering analysis, simulation and optimization, combined with the right decision making tools, within a computer-generated environment that facilitates multidisciplinary insight into complex problems.
This enables the capability to explore the degree of expected variation, particularly in highly uncertain natural earth systems.
In these natural geological systems, the smallest of changes in the rock strength and continuity assumptions can result in
very large differences in that expected system behaviour and may impact safety or operational costs in the long term.
GEST is a provider of short-term contract work focusing on innovative Geo-Technology Solutions for all earth science and engineering problems:
Natural and induced spatial pattern recognition in geoData by simplifying and reducing dimensionality in large scale datasets to extract meaningful trends.
The true value of data is the insight that it can provided using:
Scientific and engineering visualuzation by integrating large datasets in common earth models:
- Block models
- Structural geology
- Mine sequence and development
- Geomechanics - stress/deformation
- Induced-seismicity
Focus on cost effective 3D visualization systems:
- Portable projection VR systems
- Stereoscopic 3D HDTV
- Desktop monitor systems
Our primary focus is on technical evaluation of geology, exploration and geotechnical datasets.
- Bridging the gap between the earth scientist and engineer
- Specializing in Natural and Induced Spatial Pattern Recognition in geoData
- Simplifying and reducing dimensionality in large scale datasets to extract meaningful trends
