Viking Group Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of fire protection systems in Hastings (south of Grand Rapids), has released its latest virtual reality (VR) training platform, Virtual Viking.
It is designed to improve the training of fire protection professionals through training simulations and guided programs using VR technology designed to facilitate a better understanding of Viking valves and systems.
Virtual Viking, available on the Steam video distribution platform, provides a menu designed for enhanced navigation, making it easier for trainees to step into a VR environment on their own schedule. Users can practice resetting wet, dry, deluge, and preaction systems at home, in the office, or even at their job site.
The platform offers new courses such as F1 and VXD Hydraulic simulations, along with “Startup” modules to guide users through system startup processes.
“We are excited to introduce these new updates to Virtual Viking which help simplify user experience and provide easier navigation,” says Rob Rudaitis, manager – digital products for Viking. “Virtual Viking continues to set the standard for immersive and effective VR training, empowering fire protection professionals to enhance their skillset.”
Virtual Viking is compatible with VR headsets or web browsers. It was engineered to provide convenient and flexible access to fire protection training anytime. To learn more about the latest updates to Virtual Viking, visit here.
