In a major coup for the Mackay region, "nationally significant" virtual reality technology will now be on hand for businesses to trial and integrate into their sphere.
The major technical leap will allow companies in the region to explore and test out how they can incorporate virtual reality into their workplaces.
Mackay's Resources Centre of Excellence has partnered with the Queensland University of Technology to design the virtual reality and augmented reality technology.
RCOE general manager Steven Boxall said this was something industry did not have access to previously.
"Everyone hears of VR and AR and how it can be used in the industry, but for a lot of businesses, they don't have the time or money to develop the software then acquire the hardware to be able to implement that sort of training in their business," Mr Boxall said.
