Through the use of digital video and 3D graphics, he can actually experience a basic crane maintenance routine. One of the most important aspects of safe crane operation is the understanding of Crane Capacity Charts. This topic is clearly presented by using interactive sequences. The student is led through hypothetical lifts using digital video before engaging in an exercise requiring him to gather the information and do his own calculations for a simulated lift. A section on standard hand signals teaches a uniform set of signals and the conditions of their use.
Video is used extensively showing the correct procedures.
An exercise combining video and 3D animation concludes the section wherein the student must operate a 3D crane according to the instructions of a signaler. The student learns to idenfity the necessary procedures for executing a safe lift. He is currently supervising a certification team on behalf of Bureau Veritas for Brunei Shell Petroleum. He has 35 years of experience in virtually all aspects of crane operations and design and brings a wealth of knowledge to the interactive multimedia product.
