Workplace staff and safety training is commonly carried out through a variety of methods including in-person classes, online courses, and materials such as pamphlets and videos. Each of these methods has its benefits and drawbacks, and the choice of method will depend on the needs of the cooperation and the staff and training regulations applying to the company.

The environment has become a growing concern for consumers, shareholders, and government. Efforts towards developing clean technologies have made environmentally sustainable practices more cost effective for industry. Taken together, these changes are moving industry toward more environmentally sustainable business practices. The option to damage the earth is becoming less desirable.

We recently completed a project rendering a proposed sustainable urban farm, a contest entry for the use of a city-owned lot in Atlanta. The farm would be an innovative blend of form and function, with footpaths and benches from which you could admire the hydroponic system, the block-long mural, or the solar sunflowers – which provide free wireless internet and charging stations, all solar powered.

Recently we have worked on a number of rendering projects for interior designers. They have been really interesting projects because of how much the visualization has changed the design.

In a few cases the designer actually switched to a completely different colour scheme. In one project the designer’s client decided against a hood fan and moved the stove completely after seeing it.

Recently we completed a really interesting 3D rendering project creating some images for an eco-tourism company. The project was visualizing several towers and platforms for a zip line project.

We really enjoyed the project because it has some unique challenges, and was a nice change to do a project so based around natural objects and vegetation. When quoting the project we realized that this type of work was very cost effective for the client, as most of the scene was vegetation from our library. This meant that the images were a lot less expensive per image than an architecture project.

It used to be very expensive to create a simulator. Now, most kids have several on their laptop. Computer game technology has come a long way in the last 10 years, to the point where realistic virtual reality can be run off the same computer you’re reading this on.

Our new safety & training simulator for Teck puts you into a surface mine, where you drive a rubber-tired bulldozer. We’ve integrated the Bullet Physics Library to power our vehicles – which include heavy equipment such as haul trucks and excavator shovels, and light transport vehicles. The physics engine also allows us to simulate debris-clearing very realistically.
