ABSTRACT
The XRC Meat Sommelier Trainer is an interactive, gamified training tool designed to help butchers practise and perfect meat-cutting techniques across a range of animals, including chicken, turkey, pork, and beef, in a precise and scalable virtual environment. Through a variety of mini-games, users can engage in self-directed learning and continuously improve their meat processing skills. The VR platform offers an ethical and sustainable alternative to real-world slaughter, enabling hands-on training without risk or harm.
CHALLENGE
Processing and preparing meat requires in-depth anatomical knowledge of different animals and the correct use of cutting techniques. Traditionally, these skills are taught in slaughterhouses, an approach that poses ethical, sustainability, and logistical challenges. The XRC Meat Sommelier Trainer offers an immersive VR solution that allows users to learn and apply these techniques in a responsible, sustainable, and highly practical way.
SOLUTION
The trainer provides a meaningful and ethical alternative to conventional meat-cutting education. With a range of interactive exercises and mini-games, learners can develop their skills in a playful yet realistic manner. Thanks to integrated learning analytics and gamification features, instructors can monitor progress, while users can track their performance and compete via high score rankings, making the learning experience both effective and engaging.
