Today, the use of Virtual Reality (VR) is widely used in the Mining industry. The video shows how VR could be used to visualize a maintenance shop for a mining operations.

I prefer to avoid utilizing it. As AI did not take subtle changes in Rock characteristics and stress regime changes into account driving a new drift.
Well AI didnt have bolt/ screen support. a closer inspection by a human ( me,).,revealed a highly unstable section of rock that required the new section of the drift to be bolted, screened, shotcreted, with supplimental steel beam support in specific areas.
Only a real human, with eyes, experience and. working with other humans with the same, skunked out the dangers of that section; despite the pressure from corporate types that never go down shaft and work the rock.
Also, the AI as it currently stands was too socially and technically biased to ne a safe reliable tool in deep workings.
Had we gone with what AI said we would have had a tragedy.
I do know after that, the crews started making jokes about AI that werent complimentary.
