Our take on Excavator Simulator VR
The presentation emphasizes unrestricted digging and operating a 90-ton machine, but the experience is a short showcase with only three tutorial levels. Its educational scope is also limited: it introduces basic controls and does not replace proper excavation training.
What is Excavator Simulator VR?
Excavator Simulator VR is a short VR experience focused on operating a 90-ton excavator.
Players can drive, dig, move the boom and bucket, and travel using tank-style movement. The game supports ISO and SAE control patterns and includes three open-world tutorial levels, with activities such as climbing hills and digging toward the ocean. The open environments also allow free-form excavation, including making large holes or piles of dirt without following level objectives. A SteamVR-compatible headset provides the virtual cab, joysticks, levers, and work gloves; no extra hardware is required. The game currently has no audio and is intended as an introductory showcase rather than a replacement for proper excavation training.
