Lithium Open Pit Mining Method AR Experience

  • Client

    UNSW SMERE

  • Year

    2019

  • Platforms

    iOS (iPhone/iPad), Android

This augmented reality (AR) application showcases a mining method used to extract lithium, which goes into making electric cars. The experience explores the processes involved in extracting a hypothetical lithium resource using the open pit mining method. For this project, a complete mining operation was modelled in 3D and animated to simulate the activities involved at different stages of mining. Within the application you learn about the steps involved in the mining sequence by placing these 3D models on the table in-front of you using AR. This allows you to walk around and observe the mining processes from all angles. To aid in understanding, information is presented at different scales, from visualising the underground orebody, to seeing the whole mine site, to focusing on individual truck and shovel operations.

“Vantage Interactive in collaboration with UNSW’s School of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering have developed the world-leading modulus in VR and AR platforms for the mining and energy industries. This has been a fantastic partnership for us, our current/future students and community as a whole.”
