This system teaches the trainee operator how to control a Long Wall
(LW) in such a way as to increase productivity and maintain a high
safety standard.
The trainee controls the LW in a virtual coal mine with controls that
closely resemble those of a real LW. The trainee wears a head mounted
display (HMD) that is fitted with a head tracker. A real Shearer Remote
Control Device is interfaced to the simulator computer.
The system may be used for the training of new operators or for
evaluation of experienced operators. The training is performed in a
safe and controlled environment.
