It is not an easy task to train farmers, especially when they are unskilled workers, and modern equipment is not cheap. To avoid malfunction or injury of the workers, farmers nowadays use virtual training (VR) as their source.
VR training will help the workers get complex training and even cost less. VR also helps the workers to work out certain scenarios in a gaming mode and train their skills for automation. After VR training, workers can easily start working with real technology.
Virtual agricultural technology plays an important role in the agricultural realm and modernization. Computer science and IT both go side by side, playing an important role in the development of agriculture. The combination of agriculture science with IT and VR has led agriculture to explore new ways of applying agriculture and studying.
The concept of virtual agriculture has provided a new range of agriculture development. The architecture of virtual crops is analyzed and studied, by building a model of virtual crops using three- dimensional techniques. The techniques of three- dimensional help to improve agricultural modernization and the applications of VR.
- VR in the Agriculture sector
Virtual Reality recreates a real working environment, which refers to the implementation of specific substances by the computer, in the virtual emissions and soil absorption. It also gives an idea of the migration process, plant, and animal growth process, and so on. The employees are provided with different scenarios and receive a certain sum of points on the completion of the scenario.
After the scenario is completed, the points are summed up and the employees are provided with a qualification certificate. If you think your first try was not good, then you can always “replay” and give it a new try.
- Virtual Planting:
Designing a virtual plant on the computer screen, helps to know about the life cycle of plants and crops, it also saves time, money, and manpower. The implementation of the crop of the dynamic growth process is known in your computer. It helps to obtain various dynamic data that includes modern equipment. The visualization of the crops provides different methods and means to structure and research on crop ecology and physiology. The research for the plants part and root portion is also studied with the help of virtual planting.
- Virtual Application in teaching and agriculture popularization:
The multimedia and interactive virtual application technology combines creativity and effectiveness to help educate the farmers about the growing condition of the crop from every angle. By just moving a mouse and key farmers can experience to hear, see, and control the crop growth and condition, which is better than the traditional way.
Farmers also include the experience of changing environment and crop cultivation process of the virtual crops and planting. The technology promotion helps the farmers understand and grasp advanced agriculture land management techniques so that the process of teaching becomes easier and intuitive, with vivid images, those help in effective teaching and increases the learning interest.
Overall virtual agriculture helps to improve the efficiency of using an efficient amount of agriculture resources, which stimulates agricultural product market transaction and agricultural production management, which can realize the technical and agriculture training, education, research, etc.
Virtual agriculture opens huge possibilities for business by automating the agriculture process and showing the farmers virtually an interactive way of how farming can be operated and conducted.
In terms of thinking of Researchers, Farmers, and Students, Racketail developed various VR Content ranging from Vertical Farming to the Study of Pesticides in Crops. For some of the below topics, Racketail used tools like Unity and Unreal to develop a real-life experience for the viewer to understand the topic in depth.
- VR Animated Study of Nematode Worms
- VR Animated Study of Beehive and Varroa Mites
- VR Animated Study of New Seed application in Soil
- Working in Apple Orchard– 360 VR Tour
- Mink farming and process (360 VR Tour)
Maharana Pratap University of Agriculture and Technology (MPUAT), Udaipur has used the above contents which were inaugurated as a new Digital Technology Cell in the agriculture field, is focused on, Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Internet of Things (IoT). Racketail is now a technology partner of this University to work along with them in developing a tech stack for Smart Farming and AgriTech.
Racketail Solutions is one of the preferred partners to Enterprises, SMBs, and startups. We work in IoT, AR, VR, Mobile, and Custom Enterprise development. You can contact us at contact@racketail.com
