| Summary: | A virtual-reality-based serious game to inspect and train a wheel loader is proposed in this paper. The game is developed using a cross-platform game engine and it is integrated into various virtual reality (VR) headsets. The proposed game was conducted under inspection and training procedures on the wheel loader of a mining company with elements to engage field workers. The results reached demonstrated the benefits of the use of such implemented technology. In addition, 16 workers assessed the game and completed a survey. The survey results suggest that the system can be used for staff training before handling a real wheel loader in a mining company. The findings suggest that the implementation of a game for inspection and training improves the process, reduces expenses, and improves safety. The game favors the development of technical skills required for real-world procedures. The VR serious game proposed as a training tool prepares company staff for inspection and operating on a wheel loader. The serious game can be expanded to include various technical procedures, such as a maintenance procedure for a tamping machine.
