Snow simulation technology
Develop a virtual reality (VR) environment that offers a fully realistic experience of complex scenarios and environments involving the dynamic interaction of snow groomers and their equipment with snow.
Snow simulation will be presented to the industry at Interalpin'23
To develop the realistic VR experience we take a real snow groomer cabin, add VR visualisation and mount it on the motion platform (3 or 6 degrees of freedom). Additionally we do electronic works with the equipment and control panels of the cabin to make the signals from the controls are transmitted to the VR.

Advantages
- Provides a fully virtual experience of realistic environments.
- Eliminates the risks to both people involved and equipment, avoiding potential damages.
- Training can be conducted throughout the year, as actual snow presence is not required.
- Apprentices/Trainees can practice with different types of snow by adjusting the simulator parameters.
- Offers complete and seamless customisation of the landscape, snow type, and snow groomer details.
- Reduces maintenance costs.
- Avoids human errors.
Key aspects
- Snow is modelled as a set of particles that interact with each other, external objects, and the ground.
- Fractures are naturally and easily modelled.
- Inter-particle forces depend on snow type, cohesion, adherence, friction, gravity, and collision with objects.
- The ability to capture snow compression and hardening is included.
- The fully real-time snow simulator is equipped with best-in-class snow rendering capabilities.
Continuum media discretized by particles (spheres)
Each particle possesses unique physical properties and a radius.
Heterogeneous materials, such as a mixture of snow and ice, can be readily modelled.

SNOW GROOMER SIMULATORS
The Snow Groomer Simulator offers training for snow groomer operators in virtual reality, allowing them to simulate accidents and other irregular situations that may occur at ski resorts.
Our company will provide Snow Groomer Simulators at various ski resorts. Additionally, we will target training academies at snow groomer plants and independent training academies.

Adding VR screens & motion platform
Snow groomer simulator
To create a realistic VR experience, we start by taking a real snow groomer cabin and incorporating VR visualization. Next, we mount it on a motion platform that offers 3 or 6 degrees of freedom. Additionally, we perform electronic work on the cabin's equipment and control panels to ensure that the signals from the controls are transmitted to the VR system.

Simulator’s software
The software comprises an exact model of the snow groomer subsystems' behavior, such as the engine, tracks, suspension, and operation during malfunctions. It also includes a realistic model of a ski resort in virtual reality, allowing for training in accidents and challenging situations specific to a particular ski park. Most importantly, the simulator replicates real-time snow behavior, which is essential for adapting to various scenarios during training.
