VR-Lab is an educational project, which introduces the concepts of raw material treatment processes, the correlated experiments steps and the upscaling process of within this domain to the students and professionals. This project allows students and professional to gain hand-on experience on planning, performing and understanding the standard steps that goes into the operation of lab-scale and high-temperature furnaces. The virtual reality component of the project provides these capabilities to the user without the high cost of operation, procurement of raw materials and mitigating the safety issues. The VR aspects also introduces the means of remote access to the content via smartphones, PC and extensive VR-devices. Revolving around the main theme of increasing resource usage efficiency in mineral and metallurgical process, these projects aims to provide practical hands-on and teaching empirical and up-scaling challenges to students and professionals in the domain. VR-Lab attempts to solve the challenge of mining & metallurgy students, whose practical knowledge transfer require them to visit hazardous location and operate critical machinery. Operating furnaces at such a high temperature requires constant vigilance from the instructors, demands repeated operations due to overwhelming number of students while constantly maintaining the operational cost of the furnace and raw materials. Additionally, in cases of industries where a large number of employees must undergo operational and general safety training every year, encourage the development of optimal process and training toolkit.
