3D visualisation

Immersive content, including 3D models, 360 imagery, virtual and augmented reality environments are rapidly becoming commonplace in learning and development solutions throughout the L&D industry. RPS is collaborating with Imaged Reality to deliver virtual training with 3D outcrop models, through the Stratbox platform.

3D visualisation - discover the connection between subsurface theory and the real world

RPS' global 3D outcrop inventory puts the world's most descriptive, illustrative, and informative outcrop at your fingertips.

Whether in the classroom, field, or online, course participants will increase their technical competency by discovering the connection between subsurface theory and the real world.

  • Visualising the scale and continuity of flow units directly on the outcrop, providing an unparalleled perspective of the subsurface.
  • Enhancing understanding of depositional and structural environments by integrating satellite imagery with basin-scale data right to the pore scale in a 3D environment.

Benefits of integrated technology and immersive learning experiences

Reduced downtime - A fully digital version of an object or location allowing learners to explore in full scale without the use or need for the physical product.

Flexible delivery - Utilised in a digital or remote delivery style (blended learning, e-learning). Enabling subject matter experts to teach from and to remote locations.

Time to competency - Significantly reduced by allowing the learner to train in a ‘hands-on’ capacity that is relevant to the product or practice they may not always have access to.

By interactively using 3D outcrop images, course participants studying reservoir analogues, can interpret and annotate 3D outcrop models in real time, while collaborating with other course participants and instructors, enhancing their learning in an immersive environment.

  • Subsurface data integration

    Industry, academic and in-house data can be integrated into the learning platform providing participants a clear view of scale and continuity. Learning points can be adapted to address the needs of the group or a tour of outcrops from around the world can engage participants with alternative possibilities and encourage creative problem solving.

  • Compare and contrast locations

    Geoscientists, engineers, and integrated teams can compare and contrast locations once separated by oceans, side by side, delivering deep insight into the subsurface geology of the fields they explore, develop and operate.

  • Interaction and collaboration

    3D outcrop visualisation increase the technical understanding of subsurface geology, improving your team's ability to make informed decisions. Multi-disciplinary teams can interact, share knowledge, and problem solve in a dynamic virtual space that promotes creative thinking, integration and collaboration using real-life examples.

What our instructors say

Stratbox allowed me to take my course participants on a virtual tour of some of the world’s best outcrops and exchanging ideas by drawing on the rocks (virtually of course)! We then were able to visit modern analogues on a different continent, looking at process and dispositional forms, A fabulous communication tool, utilising the best of modern imaging technology.” Stephanie Kape, N530 Instructor

"The interactive capabilities of Stratbox enhanced the learning experience when viewing 3D outcrop images, not least by enabling of observations and interpretations to be compared and discussed. This is the case whether a ‘field trip’ is entirely remote due to limited opportunity to access an area, or in providing additional perspective to groups visiting an outcrop or reviewing their field studies at a later date.” Philip Hirst, N530 & N533 Instructor
