Manufacturing
New hires and cross-trained operators rehearse startups, changeovers, lockout/tagout, and fault response in VR first. Supervisors see every step that was taken or missed before anyone touches a running machine.
For plant managers, EHS leads, maintenance supervisors, apprenticeship programs, and community colleges.
In the headset: Lockout/tagout
Training today
Training on a working machine means taking it out of service, slowing the line, or having a new hire learn while product is running.
Two new operators trained by two different people learn two different versions of the procedure.
Stored energy, a jam during a changeover, or a guard left open are hard to practice safely on the floor.
With VR practice
Every repeat happens on a model of the machine, so production keeps running.
Every operator practices the same sequence your engineers signed off on.
Stored energy, jams, and open guards can be practiced without anyone getting hurt.
Module library
Each module follows the work in order and is adapted to your procedures before anyone uses it.
Isolating every energy source and proving zero energy before work begins.

Operators, line leads, safety managers
Consistent practice on the procedures that cause injuries and downtime when they go wrong.
Technicians, mechanics, QC inspectors
Rehearse the sequences that happen rarely but have to be done right.
Training providers and workforce programs
Students arrive at an employer already familiar with the equipment and the order of work.
A scenario, step by step
A packaging machine has stopped with product jammed in the infeed. The operator needs to clear it.
Find the electrical disconnect, the air supply, and anything still under pressure or tension.
Notify the area, shut the machine down, and isolate each energy source.
Apply a personal lock and tag, bleed stored energy, and try to start the machine to prove zero energy.
Clear the jam, check the area, remove locks in order, and tell the line lead it is back.
Afterward: The supervisor sees whether every energy source was isolated, whether zero energy was verified, and the order of each step.
Analytics and reports
Every action, decision, and word in a module is captured, analyzed against your standard, and reported in the Bubbler Hub. Supervisors see it at five levels.
Watch what the learner sees in the headset from a laptop or tablet, with the current task, step, and progress. The video stream isn’t stored; the session record is.
Every step taken or missed, in order and timed, plus the decisions the learner made and what they said.
Every attempt for each person, so you can see what improved and what still needs another run.
Completion across the group, the steps most people miss, and who needs another attempt or a conversation.
Dated completion reports for each person, as PDF or data files, for training files, audits, and accreditation.

Questions
Yes. We build from photos, drawings, manuals, and a walkthrough with your team. Your subject-matter expert reviews the procedure before rollout.
Start with that one. We’ll scope a first deployment around your equipment and your procedure.
