Tower Crane Simulator @ imseCAVE
As invited by the Construction Industry Council (CIC), the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering, The University of Hong Kong (HKU), developed a Tower Crane Simulator. The simulator is designed to run on the Departmentˇ¦s Virtual Reality System imseCAVE. The simulator was displayed at the 2014 WorldSkills Hong Kong Competition cum Construction Industry Mega Fun Day, Kai Tak Cruise Terminal. In the two-day event, the response of the simulator is overwhelming. A constant long waiting line and the amazed expression of visitors have made it one of the successful attractions of the event, and at the same time, fulfilled the purpose of promoting the construction industry.
