From LOKO Virtual Depo offers a tour of the latest models of industrial locomotives in VR as well as classic 3D model directly in the web browser. CZ LOKO a.s, a Czech locomotive manufacturer, will use the system for business presentation and later also for training and training of employees. Another goal of Virtual Depo is to open the imaginary gate of the production plant to lovers of railway technology and offer an extraordinary experience to the general public.
Virtual Depo uses web browser views in both VR and classic 3D mode. Users can use the system using their mobile, desktop, and VR headset. The app has been open to users since June 7, 2021 at www.virtualdepo.czloko.cz
"We see virtual reality as a practical and more efficient way to introduce our locomotives to partners and fans around the world and provide them with direct support to an extent that would not be possible even under normal conditions. The limitations have given us the opportunity to give space for innovation, which will further affect our overall communication," says Jan Kutálek, Sales Director and Member of the Board of Directors of CZ LOKO a.s.
The virtual railway depot project was created in less than a year in response to the limitations of classic trade fairs and the company's business activities. The original plan gradually expanded to include the possibilities of training and teaching not only employees but also customers.
