This article looks at 3D modeling processes, how it is being used in the mining industry, its benefits, challenges being faced in 3D modeling, as well as a concise insight into what the future holds.
Due to the inherent dangers of mining, safety training is important. In the mining industry, virtual and augmented reality is being used to replace outdated and ineffective training with more effective immersive experiences.
