Run virtual tours offline with the latest headset from Oculus and Facebook Meta for a wireless experience. Karora approached Reality Check to produce a virtual tour of its Western Australia operations to overcome the travel restrictions imposed due to COVID-19 and enable site visits throughout the pandemic. Leveraging cutting-edge technology and industry experience, Reality Check Systems operates a flexible business model in order to deliver bespoke tours that balance need and budget.

Resolute needed the flexibility, transparency and trust provided by our applications to promote multiple programs it was developing in West Africa, so it commissioned Reality Check to produce, host and distribute a tour of their Syama Gold asset in Mali. Initiated by Anglo’s London head office, the company used local Brazilian videographers remotely supported by Reality Check know-how and equipped with low-cost 360° video cameras and a drone.

Taking VR-augmented mine tours to the next level for Minas Rio and Syama

Anglo American released a virtual site visit of its Quellaveco Copper Mine in Peru to showcase the progress of its construction work as it prepared to start production. The Reality Check tour of Minas-Rio was used at the Anglo American investor day in front of a live audience in London in 2019 to support Mark Cutifani’s statement summarising the remedial actions that had been taken by the company to safely re-commission the project. We will release the product onto an Oculus Quest headset that doesn’t need to connect to a PC in order to deliver VR content (this is in late-stage beta testing.) A “lite” version of your tour will also run on iOS and Android tablets and mobiles via a browser.

If satellite images from services such as Google Earth are of a sufficiently high resolution, then this might be a more viable alternative. You can use your own personnel to capture the required 360° media from ground and UAV (drone) platforms. Our purpose is to improve the access and transparency of assets to its stakeholders. RCS provides DAZN with a rock solid real-time graphics and data solution in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Japanese and the support services to ensure DAZN production.

Minimising logistical requirements and costs, over the course of two days Anglo American captured the critical points of their site and infrastructure, uploading the material to the Reality Check cloud. The tour was later embedded on the landing page of Anglo American’s website where it stayed for months, freely accessible to public scrutiny. Given the bandwidth constraints at our clients’ remote locations, however, to date it has not been considered viable.

Some examples of completed projects range from historic sites in Wales (try our demo tour) to large, operating mines spanning the globe. Anglo American’s slurry pipeline transports ore 529 km from the Minas-Rio mine site in Minas Gerais to their iron ore terminal at the port of Acu. In 2018 it failed, leaking iron ore solution into the local environment and necessitating shutdown and refurbishment of the pipeline and environment. Reality Check can assist in 3D modelling khelo24 from UAV photogrammetry via remote data processing of your drone images or as a full turnkey piloting, data collection and processing service.

Discover how our virtual site visits are redefining transparency in the corporate world. We are happy to to work solely on a post-production basis if you prefer to use your own resources to collect the required 360° videos, photos and any other media. We’ll even provide you with best practice and hardware advice if you choose this approach. After a pipeline-leak incident, Anglo American used our virtual reality tour to promote its recovery plan and regain trust from shareholders. Leverage our virtual tour production specialists to produce a VR tour of your operation you’ll share with the world.

A successful rebrand with Troika in 2022 pushed UFC into the mainstream by focusing on athleticism, competition and star power. The simple but bold real-time broadcast graphics that RCS created from that new brand are as powerful today as they were on that historic spring night at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in 2022. RCS continues to collaborate with the UFC to develop innovative graphics solutions across their content portfolio. Completed projects range from historic sites in Wales to large, open-pit operations in Peru.
