AR / VR development · VR training
A VR training simulator UAE operators can rely on lets trainees inspect equipment, use virtual tools, find randomised faults and follow a procedure before they ever touch the real plant. Next Orbit builds simulators on Unity and Unreal with OpenXR, so one build runs on Meta Quest and other headsets. Every module has guided, assessment and open practice modes, an instructor console that assigns scenarios and injects faults live, and scoring that records time to fault, procedural errors and safety breaches.
Quick answer
A VR training simulator UAE organisations use for high-risk work recreates a plant, vehicle, site or procedure in a headset so people can practise safely, repeatably and without taking equipment out of service. Next Orbit, a Dubai company, builds these simulators on Unity or Unreal with OpenXR support, with scenario management, fault injection, guided and assessment modes, an instructor console and scoring per attempt. Results are pushed through SCORM or xAPI into e-trainia, which Next Orbit owns, or into your existing LMS, so VR sessions sit next to classroom and eLearning records. Typical modules cover permit-to-work, confined-space entry, emergency response, isolation and lockout, equipment inspection and safety inductions for oil and gas, utilities, construction and manufacturing teams across the UAE and the GCC.
What we deliver
Pick a deliverable to see what it covers and the part of the stack behind it.
Deliverable 01
We start from your procedures, incident history and competency matrix, and turn them into scenarios with a clear goal, a sequence of steps, randomised faults and the errors that must be caught. Each scenario is signed off by your HSE and training leads before modelling begins, so the simulator teaches the approved method.
From the stack
Deliverable 02
Permit-to-work, confined-space entry, gas testing, emergency response, isolation and lockout, and pre-start inspections of pumps, compressors and valves, practised in a virtual plant built from your drawings, photos or laser scans. Trainees handle virtual tools and instruments while the console records every step and every breach.
From the stack
Deliverable 03
A tablet or desktop console lets the instructor assign scenarios, watch the trainee view, inject faults live, pause for a coaching moment and replay an attempt. Assessment mode locks the hints, and open practice mode lets trainees repeat a task until they are confident with it.
From the stack
Deliverable 04
Time to find each fault, procedural errors, safety breaches and pass or fail results are stored per attempt and pushed through SCORM or xAPI into e-trainia or your existing LMS, so VR records sit beside classroom and eLearning completions in one training file for each person.
From the stack
Deliverable 05
We build for Meta Quest and other OpenXR headsets, configure kiosk mode so trainees see only the simulator, and set up device management for updates, content distribution and hygiene rotation across training rooms, sites and mobile training units, with a desktop mode for classroom demonstrations.
From the stack
Deliverable 06
Voice-over, on-screen instructions, labels and reports are produced in Arabic and English and switched per trainee at login, so the same module serves a mixed workforce and reports stay readable for supervisors in either language. Further languages are added as content rather than code.

Part of our AR / VR development service. The same architecture-first process, quality control and support apply; tell us the problem and one of our expert engineers will map it to a plan.
Discovery CallWe deliver the work from one office in Dubai across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, the whole UAE and the GCC.
Virtual reality training solutions UAE companies ask us for cover permit-to-work, confined-space entry, emergency response and isolation and lockout, and results flow into e-trainia or your existing LMS through SCORM or xAPI. Content is produced in Arabic and English, with voice-over and on-screen text switched per trainee.
An accurate 3D model of the equipment or site, scenarios with randomised faults, clear procedures to follow, scoring rules agreed with your HSE team and a console the instructor can run without a developer.
Headset applications on Unity or Unreal with OpenXR, a scenario and content manager, an instructor console, an analytics dashboard and SCORM or xAPI connectors to your learning platform.
A first module scoped with your HSE and training leads, built and tested with real trainees, deployed to managed headsets and linked to the LMS where completions and scores are kept.
Architecture-first
Before a line of production code is written we draw the system: the people who use it, the services behind it and the systems it must talk to. This reference architecture from our AR / VR development practice is the starting point we adapt to your operation.

How it runs
5 stages, each with a deliverable you can review and sign off before the next begins.
We pick a first procedure with your HSE lead, agree scoring rules and confirm the headset and LMS targets.
Equipment and site are modelled from drawings, photos or scans and each scenario is scripted step by step.
The module is built in Unity or Unreal, tested with real trainees and tuned for comfort and clarity.
Headsets are configured in kiosk mode, device management is set up and the LMS connector goes live.
New scenarios, faults and languages are added as your programme grows, with support for devices and content.
Who it is for
Permit-to-work, confined-space and emergency drills practised before site exposure.
Switching, isolation and plant-room procedures rehearsed without taking assets offline.
Working at height, lifting and site inductions for a changing workforce.
Machine start-up, forklift and warehouse safety with randomised hazards in play.
Simulator modules sold alongside classroom courses with results in the LMS.
Rare, high-consequence procedures practised repeatably on a dedicated deployment.
Platforms we offer
e-trainia is our own platform; e-tijariX, MeezanX and AuthentiQ we implement and support. Each can be customised for your operation.
Learning & training management with AI scheduling
An LMS and a training management system in one platform, in English and native Arabic.

We build on OpenXR, so one application runs on Meta Quest headsets and other OpenXR-compatible devices, and a desktop mode can be added for classroom demonstrations. Headsets are set to kiosk mode so trainees see only the simulator, and device management handles updates and content distribution across sites.
Yes. AR and VR training simulators are built in our Dubai office and deployed to clients in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Al Ain, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and across the GCC. Discovery workshops, trainee testing and go-live sessions take place at your training centre or site, and remote support covers the headsets and content afterwards.
Yes. VR safety training in Dubai is one of the most common requests we receive, from site inductions to working at height and fire response. Every module is produced in Arabic and English with voice-over and on-screen text switched per trainee, and additional languages can be added where the workforce needs them.
Each attempt produces a record with time to fault, errors, safety breaches and the result. The simulator sends it through SCORM or xAPI to e-trainia, which Next Orbit owns, or to any LMS that supports those standards, so VR appears in the same training file as classroom and eLearning courses and in competency reports.
No. The scenario manager lets your training team change the sequence of steps, the faults in play, hint levels and pass marks without touching code. New equipment, sites or languages are developer work, which we scope as a follow-on module and deliver under the support agreement.
Yes. Content and results can be kept on a dedicated deployment where your compliance rules require it, with the headsets managed from your own device management console. For other clients we use a managed cloud service with the LMS connection secured by API keys and role-based access.
Because the real tasks are dangerous, expensive or rare. Confined-space entry, gas testing and emergency response can be practised repeatedly without taking a unit out of service or exposing a new joiner to risk. Supervisors see the same scoring for every trainee, and refresher training can be scheduled through the LMS.
