Dominion Energy serves millions of customers across 16 states, delivering reliable and clean energy. As part of their commitment to sustainability, they have set ambitious goals to achieve Net Zero carbon and methane emissions. To support these efforts, Dominion Energy recognized the potential of augmented reality technology in enhancing their personnel training.
This case study delves into the partnership between Dominion Energy, a major energy provider in the United States, and Ario, an innovative AR solutions provider. The objective of the project was to develop an augmented reality (AR) training experience that could be used both in a classroom environment and on-site, catering to Dominion Energy's diverse training needs.
Create an immersive AR training solution that could seamlessly transition from a classroom setting to real-world on-site scenarios.
A discovery phase to understand DE's training objectives and requirements, followed by the design (UI/UX and 3D design) and development of a customized AR solution.
An AR app build in Unity for iPad that supports Dominion Energy personnel training in classroom and on site.
Ario's approach was based on extensive research, collaboration with Dominion Energy subject matter experts, and the utilization of cutting-edge AR technologies. The team at Ario worked closely with Dominion Energy to ensure the solutions aligned with their training needs.
Describe the process of working with SMEs and Instructors to learn what courses they would like to focus on as well as what steps are involved for creating the maintenance procedures in order to create the step-by-step workflows on Ario Portal.
Secondly, I'll need to describe how we created 3D models for visual/spatial context to the scale of the components that the Airmen will need in order to provide context on a step-by-step basis. Below are some examples of 3D content that was created. We ended out creating more than 50 models in order to support the training modules for this project.
The content for these modules where a combination of 2D illustrations and 3D models with various portions highlighted for context.
Describe how the course ware was an added feature to Ario in order to support the needs of the project. Courses within Ario are training that provide users with multiple choice questions providing a 3D model or image that is featured along with the question. Users are able to view the questions either in 2D or in augmented reality which the question and answers persist overlayed over the augmented reality scene.

The outcome of the project was an impressive AR app for iPad that effectively supported Dominion Energy personnel training. The app bridged the gap between theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom and real-world applications in the field. Trainees could access the AR training materials anytime, anywhere, facilitating a continuous learning process.
The collaboration between Dominion Energy and Ario exemplifies how augmented reality technology can revolutionize personnel training. Through the creation of an innovative AR app, Dominion Energy demonstrated its dedication to adopting cutting-edge solutions for a cleaner and more sustainable future. The successful implementation of AR training opens doors to further advancements in training methodologies and positions Dominion Energy as a leader in the clean energy transition.
