VRSafety by BSD XR
Rehearse the hazard. Not the consequence.
VRSafety is a 360° VR training framework built by Bit Space Development (BSD XR). Real job-site photography, interactive hotspots, and built-in assessments — deployable on phones, tablets, PCs, and standalone VR headsets.
Featured project
From the field
Doctor Chamber VR
This project demonstrates the technical disassembly and reassembly process for a specific model of Doctor Blade Chamber. The workflow begins with the systematic removal of the clamping bars and metering blades, followed by the extraction of the internal end seals and gaskets. Once fully stripped, the chamber undergoes a thorough cleaning process using specialized solvents to remove residual ink and debris, ensuring all contact surfaces are prepped for a precise fit.

MCSC Pico G1 Deployment
Manitoba Construction Sector Council brings career awareness using virtual and augmented reality to over 3,500 youth in and around Winnipeg each year. Remote Indigenous communities have not had access to this opportunity so MCSC proposed to partner with Frontier School Division, Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre, and independent Indigenous schools to bring career awareness using technology to 40 Indigenous communities in 2019 and 47 Indigenous communities in 2020 using $100,000 of industry funding leveraged from Manitoba’s provincial contribution. Over a one-year period, 2,727 students living in remote Indigenous communities participated in Try a Trades North!

Liuna 183 Training Center Pico Deployment
BSD XR partnered with the LiUNA Local 183 Training Centre — one of Canada's most comprehensive skilled trades training institutions — to deploy a fleet of Pico 4 Enterprise headsets purpose-built for hands-on construction training.
Supervisor AI
The Supervisor AI Training project, developed in partnership with the Manitoba Construction Sector Council (MCSC), is a specialized digital learning platform designed to modernize the professional development of construction supervisors. The site serves as a centralized hub for leadership training, beginning with a curated library of instructional videos that establish a foundation in essential management principles. By integrating multimedia content with a streamlined user interface, the platform ensures that critical safety and organizational knowledge is accessible to busy professionals across the province.
English for Construction
In collaboration with the Manitoba Construction Sector Council (MCSC), this VR project provides an immersive language-learning experience designed to help newcomers master technical industry terminology. By simulating real-world environments, the tool bridges the gap between traditional classroom learning and the physical jobsite, allowing users to build confidence and "technical literacy" in a risk-free, virtual setting.
Power Drill VR
Power Drill VR is an energetic and approachable virtual reality experience designed to spark an interest in the trades for a younger generation. Designed in conjunction with the Manitoba Construction Sector Council (MCSC), the project leverages their expertise as subject matter experts to ensure the content is both technically grounded and highly effective at youth engagement. Eschewing the complexities of a deep technical simulation, the game uses a vibrant, cartoonish art style to transform basic carpentry into a fun, interactive playground where kids can experiment with tools and build confidence.
Why simulation works
The brain learns by doing
Immersive VR places trainees inside a faithful replica of a real, high-risk environment. Because the body believes the experience, the learning encodes the way real experience does — without the danger, downtime, or cost of live training.
The result is competence you can measure and trust, built one safe repetition at a time.
75%

4×
faster route to confident competence
Zero

Reading on safety & simulation
Why VR Safety Training Sticks: The Science of Learning by Doing
Reading a method statement teaches the words. Standing inside the hazard teaches the body. Here is why immersion changes what trainees actually remember.
Working at Heights: Rehearsing the Fall You Never Want to Take
Falls remain the leading cause of death in construction. Simulation lets crews feel the consequence of a missed clip — without anyone leaving the ground.
Confined Spaces: Training for the Scenarios You Can't Safely Recreate
Atmospheric hazards kill quietly and fast. Simulation is the only way to rehearse a confined-space emergency without creating one.
