CattleVR is an immersive virtual reality experience that revolutionises cattle handling training.
The hyper-realistic VR environment supports students to understand flight zones and how to move cattle safely through the yards, as well as other essential yard and cattle handling training. The gamification of the experience appeals to students of all ages as they learn the importance of keeping out of the red zone – where they could find themselves kicked by a virtual cow!
Handling cattle can be challenging in circumstances where the person doesn’t have any experience, CattleVR helps develop the basic skills of the student before they head to yards.
Training on live animals can be taxing on the animals, and frequently handled cattle become docile which does not reflect usual cattle behaviour. CattleVR reduces the stress and impact on the live animals.
Placing untrained people directly into yards with cattle has the potential to be dangerous, as they may stand in positions where they may be inadvertently injured by the animals, or behave in a way that causes stress and harm to the stock.
