MIXED REALITY MOPPING<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

As the leading manufacturer of contamination control products, the team at Contec came to Gravity Jack wanting to create a training environment that ensured their mopping solutions were being used efficiently. The result is the Contec virtual mopping application that utilizes the Vive Pro VR headset to create a mixed reality environment that teaches users correct mopping techniques then tests their newly acquired skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wearing the HTC Vive Pro VR headset, users see a digital overlay of the signature S motion required to effectively mop is placed on the floor. With a mop in hand, users are to trace the digital pattern laid out in front of them and repeat the steps as needed. After the user thinks they have the hang of the pattern, they can then select \u201cAssessment Mode\u201d where the app removes the digital overlay and it is up to the user to apply the correct motion to ensure they mop the required area. Behind the scenes, the app continues to track the user\u2019s movements and provides them with an overall score based on their performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s a hallway in a hospital or an operating room, Contec and their associates are ensuring they are setting high standards and achieving the best results possible by teaming with Gravity Jack to create the virtual mopping application. To make the Mixed Reality application happen, Gravity Jack deployed the best practices for design and development.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Believe it or not, using the correct mopping technique when cleaning floors in already cleaned rooms or highly clean environments (i.e laboratories, surgery centers, etc\u2026 ), is easier said than done. Oftentimes the mop, chemicals, or the floor pads are blamed when in reality the poor results may simply come from not using the correct technique. To combat this, the team at Contec Inc. contacted Gravity Jack to create a compelling mixed reality (MR) application that will help its users correctly operate a mop in these clean environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The application has users wear a Vive Pro VR headset while also handling a mop that has the Vive Pro tracker attached to it. Within the experience, users are able to select from two different mopping motions \u2014 the S pattern or the straight-line technique. Once the experience begins, users will see a digital overlay of the pattern that they selected. They will use the mop and tracker to follow the digital pattern provided for them and repeat the steps until they get a feel for the correct motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the user feels like they have the correct motion down, they can select \u201cOpen Mode\u201d from the app\u2019s menus which allows them to practice these motions without the digital guide. The other option within the menu is \u201cAssessment Mode\u201d where users are evaluated by the application. In Assessment Mode, the app removes the digital overlay while tracking the user\u2019s motion and the amount of coverage they are getting on the floor with the mop. Based on these factors and the overall time it took the user to finish mopping, the application provides users with a score based on their performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training environments such as the Contec Virtual Mopping Environment are a proven cost-effective way to provide employees the experience needed to prepare them for the Jobsite. They provide hands-on experience that a traditional classroom environment cannot provide. While Contec may be the first mopping application, we believe it is just the beginning for virtual training environments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
