Elevator Talent Development Institute - Emergency Rescue Operation XR Training Content Construction
Customized Emergency Rescue Training Solutions by Manufacturer to Enhance Response Capabilities During Elevator Accidents
| PROJECT | XR Content Development and Vocational Training System Construction
|
PROJECT GOAL
| In collaboration with the Elevator Talent Development Institute of the Korea Elevator Safety Agency, we have established an 'Emergency Rescue Operation XR Lecture' infrastructure to strengthen the safe passenger rescue capabilities of workers during elevator failures and emergencies. The purpose of this project is to overcome the high costs and safety constraints of actual elevator equipment operation and to provide a practical training environment where rescuers, such as firefighters or managers, can respond calmly even in solo rescue activities. This immersive educational content perfectly reproduces the characteristics of control panels from major domestic manufacturers (Hyundai, Otis, TK). It is designed to allow systematic practice of the entire process, from power cutoff to step adjustment (leveling), door opening, and passenger rescue. By doing so, it supplements the limitations of theory-based education and contributes to fostering elevator safety experts by providing a virtual environment that allows for repetitive learning. |

"A single XR experience is much more effective than boring manual memorization"
Master emergency rescue procedures perfectly through a virtual control panel implemented over a real environment. The Emergency Rescue Operation XR content of the Elevator Talent Development Institute is a vocational training solution for practicing core processes that rescuers must undergo during elevator failures in a Mixed Reality (MR) environment. Without the risk of accidents associated with actual high-voltage equipment, users can strengthen their field response capabilities by repeatedly training on the different operation methods of each major manufacturer's control panel.
Trainee Interview: XR Elevator Rescue Practice

| Realistic Practice Environment | Safe Repetitive Learning | Immersion Like Reality

I could learn by directly touching
virtual equipment identical to the real panel, so it didn't feel
foreign at all.
| Instead of real machinery with accident risks, I could operate freely in an XR environment, learning the perfect sequence without fear of mistakes. | From the moment of cutting the power to the final step of guiding passengers out, I experienced the responsibility and immersion
of being an actual rescue member.

"Safety rules learned through your fingertips become an experience, not just text." (Professor A, Korea Elevator Safety Agency)
In elevator emergency rescue, very detailed operation sequences are vital. In the past, the best we could do was have students memorize thick manuals, but now, they wear XR devices and stand in front of actual control panels. Seeing them learn through the process of physically flipping switches in a virtual environment gave me confidence as an educator. Although the background may appear in black and white depending on the device specs, the core interactions are clearly conveyed, so there is no hindrance to the essence of education.
"We eliminate the fear of operating real equipment and aim for perfection through repetitive training." (Professor B, Department of Elevator Engineering)
The vague fear students feel when facing high-voltage control panels or brake systems for the first time was often an obstacle to education. However, this system established by Samwoo Immersion provides an opportunity to make mistakes freely and try again in a safe virtual environment. In particular, it is amazing that subtle operation differences by manufacturer, such as TK, Otis, and Hyundai, can all be experienced on a single device. Seeing students react by saying, 'I memorized all the procedures while having fun practicing,' makes me feel the value of introducing XR infrastructure.
Elevator Emergency Rescue Operation XR Content Configuration
Providing 3 types of emergency rescue training scenarios reflecting control panel characteristics by manufacturer
 |  |  |
HYUNDAI Control Panel
| OTIS Control Panel
| TK Control Panel |
Emergency (E-INS) Switch Transition
| ERO Switch Transition | Manual Mode Transition
|
01. HYUNDAI Control Panel
1-1 Operation Location
The work is performed through the 'Simplified Operation Panel' located inside after opening the external call button cover.
1-2 Manual Transition
Change the transition switch to Emergency (E-INS) mode to secure manual control status.
1-3 Height Adjustment
The elevator height is adjusted by repeatedly pressing the BRAKE RELEASE button without maintaining a separate key.
02. OTIS Control Panel
1-1 Manual Transition
Includes a procedure to transition the system to a manual operation state by turning the ERO switch before operation.
1-2 Power Cutoff
The power is cut off by operating the Overcurrent Circuit Breaker (OCB) after first removing the lower protective cover.
1-3 Height Adjustment
Practice a dual operation method of inserting and maintaining a dedicated key in a specific hole (BRB2) while operating the brake release switch (BRB1).
03. TK Control Panel
1-1 Operation Location
The practice is conducted at the main control panel located next to the landing door.
1-2 Power Cutoff
Safety is secured by lowering the circuit breaker switch to cut off main power and lighting.
1-3 Height Adjustment
The height of the elevator car is matched by repeatedly operating the discharge (Release) switch while maintaining the brake charge (Power On) switch pressed.
Elevator Emergency Rescue Operation XR Content Core Specialized Technologies
1. Manufacturer-Customized MR Environment Implementation
The different control systems and operation methods of the three major domestic elevator companies (Hyundai, Otis, TK) have been implemented as virtual objects.
Reflection of Unique Operation Systems
Distinctive actions of each company were reproduced, such as the insertion and maintenance of Otis's dedicated key, the removal of Hyundai's simplified operation panel board, and the mixed operation of TK's brake charge/discharge switches.
Actual Manual-Based Placement
Switch names, circuit breaker locations, and call button cover opening procedures for each manufacturer were configured identically to the actual manual sequence.
2. Manufacturer-Customized Interaction and Guide System
Reflection of Physical Movements
Controller-based interactions required for actual rescue procedures, such as control panel key rotation, circuit breaker switch operation, and brake release, have been applied.
Visual Feedback
Helps learners judge the accuracy of their work through state changes upon switch operation and lamp lighting within the control panel.
Real-Time Narration Instructions
A professional narration guides the entire process from power cutoff to passenger rescue step-by-step to increase immersion in learning.
3. Device Optimization
Universal Device Optimization
Consistent educational quality is maintained regardless of device specifications; in addition to the color passthrough of Oculus Quest 3, operation guides and interaction elements are output in high-visibility colors even in the black-and-white passthrough environment of Oculus Quest 2.
H/W Solution
The Elevator Talent Development Institute utilizes Meta Quest 2 and 3 to use Samwoo Immersion elevator emergency rescue operation XR content for practical training. Produced as a standalone app, it operates a safe and efficient training environment without space constraints.

HMD : Meta Quest 2
Due to device characteristics,
the actual environment is output in black and white,
but the control panel modeling, the core of the practice,
is implemented and provided in vivid color.
| HMD : Meta Quest 3
Through color passthrough technology,
Samwoo Immersion's content
is combined with the actual environment to
provide a seamless Mixed Reality (MR) experience.
