MiningVAR helps mining companies who want to get social licenses to operate and simplified mine planning and awareness of mining operations by reducing mine planning time by 20% and getting local people to give licence to operate.Technology description of MiningVAR is based on a container filled with sand, which gives the opportunity to use surface what can be shaped as required. The topography of the sand surface is continuously scanned by a 3D sensor and a camera (Kinect technology, what is used for example in Microsoft Xbox). In computer, the scanned surface is now blended with a digital geological 3D model in real-time and an image is calculated, which is projected onto the sand surface by means of a beamer. The result is an interactive model, which user can interact and which visualizes and comprehend complex three-dimensional facts in an accessible way.Technology gives the opportunity to simulate the situations and show what and why mining companies do when they extract raw minerals. In computer, the scanned surface is blended with a digital geological 3D model (or other data, what we can take from geological databases) in real-time and an image is calculated, which is projected onto the sand surface by means of a beamer. Then we can collect useful information from sandbox model and see the possible changes in the landscape.
