Practice the mistake
without anyone getting hurt.
Your dojo already teaches the right sequence, twenty times over and with the equipment at hand. The virtual dojo adds what cannot be recreated safely there: the fire that grows or the pedestrian who shows up where you did not expect one.
A headset station inside the same dojo, with no PC or internet, so each person practices their module.
Four situations a physical dojo cannot put in front of people without putting them at risk.
Five fire classes and one minute ten to control it. Pick the wrong agent or aim badly, and the fire grows in front of the person.

From the cab, three circuits with a pedestrian who crosses without warning. From the aisle, the crossing protocol: stop, look three times and wait.

Among good, damaged and wrong-industry pieces. Rejecting the cracked helmet or the torn glove is part of the exercise.

Custom built: the simulator of your machine, with its controls and your procedure, like the Gerdau Corsa overhead crane.
See the simulatorEach module runs on a standalone Meta Quest 3 headset, with no PC or internet connection. The fire and protective equipment modules need a clear 2 × 2 m area per headset.
The group rotates between the talk, the physical station and the virtual station. What the dojo already does stays the same.
That is the pace of the protective equipment module in continuous rotation, with runs of 90 seconds to two and a half minutes. The pedestrian crossing module takes about 4 minutes per person and the forklift module 15 to 20 per operator.
The pedestrian crossing module carries Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, German and Japanese in the same build, for crews from several countries.
Neither replaces the other: each one practices what the other cannot.
| Physical dojo | Virtual dojo | |
|---|---|---|
| What it does best | The standard sequence, repeated on the real equipment | The risky situation that cannot be recreated |
| The mistake | It is corrected before it happens | It happens, and you see what it causes |
| The equipment | The plant's stations and tools | Standalone headsets with each module's simulator |
| Production | Off the line | Off the line |
| What is left at the end | The practice and the trainer's signature | The result in the headset; the forklift module exports a CSV file |
In seven years the program grew from one family of crane simulators to eleven modules: six cranes, the floor-level overhead crane, the electric arc furnace, lockout/tagout, a 360 induction and the platform that hosts them.

Figure reported by the plant.
Practice happens away from the equipment.
The full story of the dojo, from Toyota to virtual reality, is in the article: Training dojo and safety dojo.
It adds to it. The standard sequence is still practiced on the real equipment and the virtual dojo adds the risky situations that cannot be recreated there. Skills records and the authorization to operate stay with the company.
A clear 2 × 2 m area per headset for the fire and protective equipment modules, standing. The forklift module is done seated in a chair, and the pedestrian crossing module is walked: each real step counts as one and a half inside the headset.
No. Each module runs on a standalone Meta Quest 3 headset, with no PC or internet connection.
