Bridging the Skills Gap in TVET with Mixed Reality


Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is crucial for supplying Malaysia’s industries with skilled talent. However, traditional training often struggles to provide the necessary hands-on experience in a safe and cost-effective manner. Cuberlab’s immersive solutions are transforming the TVET classroom into a dynamic, interactive learning environment.
- Safe, Realistic Training for Hazardous Tasks: Vocational skills such as welding, electrical wiring, and machinery operation carry inherent risks. Our immersive training allows students to practice these hazardous tasks by overlaying interactive, 3D digital instructions onto physical mock-ups. This creates a safe yet highly realistic training environment where mistakes become learning opportunities, not accidents. This approach makes high-stakes training accessible and fundamentally safer.
- Deepening Understanding Beyond the Textbook: Abstract 2D diagrams in textbooks are a poor substitute for hands-on experience. The power of mixed reality lies in its ability to make the invisible visible. We train students to use headsets that allow them to see inside an engine, trace the flow of electrical circuits, or walk around a full-scale holographic schematic. This intuitive, engaging method of learning drastically improves comprehension and retention, ensuring a deeper understanding of complex systems. Cuberlab’s expertise in this educational field is unparalleled.
- Creating a Direct Pathway to Employment: By providing training on the very same mixed reality platforms that are being deployed in modern factories and service centres, we ensure TVET graduates are job-ready from day one. They enter the workforce already proficient with the tools of Industry 4.0, giving them a significant advantage and reducing the onboarding time for employers. This forward-thinking approach makes immersive technology an essential component of modern vocational education.
Powering the Automotive Workforce with Interactive Training


The rapid evolution of the automotive sector, particularly with the rise of electric vehicles (EVs), demands a new generation of highly skilled technicians. Cuberlab provides specialised mixed reality training programmes that equip the Malaysian automotive workforce with the expertise needed to excel in this changing landscape.
- Mastery of Complex Assembly and Diagnostics: The assembly of a modern EV is a high-precision process. We train technicians using augmented applications that overlay step-by-step 3D guides directly onto the vehicle. This ensures every component is installed with perfect accuracy. For diagnostics, a technician can look at a vehicle and instantly see sensor data and fault codes in their field of view, guided by the system to the source of the problem. Our training makes technicians proficient in using these powerful tools.
- On-Demand Remote Expertise: When a novel or complex issue arises, a junior technician in the field is no longer alone. We train teams to use collaborative mixed reality platforms, where a remote expert can see what the on-site technician sees in real-time. The expert can then annotate the technician’s physical environment with holographic markers and instructions, providing clear, unambiguous guidance. This ‘see-what-I-see’ capability, powered by this technology, minimises downtime and facilitates critical knowledge transfer.
Creating the Smart Factory with Mixed Reality


For Malaysia’s manufacturing sector to thrive in the Industry 4.0 era, it must embrace technologies that boost productivity, improve quality, and enhance worker safety. Cuberlab is at the forefront of this movement, deploying mixed reality solutions that transform traditional factory floors into intelligent, data-rich environments.
- Intuitive, Hands-Free Digital Work Instructions: We train your workforce to move beyond paper. Our mixed reality solutions deliver dynamic, 3D work instructions directly into a worker’s line of sight via a headset. This allows them to keep their hands on their tools and their focus on the task. This seamless fusion of digital guidance and physical work reduces errors, speeds up assembly, and makes complex processes more intuitive for every member of your team. This is the core advantage of this interactive medium.
- Proactive Safety and Situational Awareness: A safe factory is a productive factory. We implement and train staff on mixed reality systems that enhance situational awareness. These systems can highlight potential hazards, provide real-time alerts from IoT-connected machinery, or guide workers along the safest path through a busy facility. By integrating digital safety information into the physical workspace, our solutions help to create a more secure working environment for everyone.
Enhancing Safety and Precision in Aircraft MRO


In the high-stakes world of Aircraft Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO), precision is not just a goal; it is a regulatory requirement. The complexity of modern aircraft leaves no room for error. Cuberlab delivers specialised mixed reality training and operational solutions that are setting a new global standard for safety and accuracy in the MRO sector.
- Error Reduction Through 3D Visualisation: The greatest challenge in MRO is the misinterpretation of 2D technical diagrams. This mental “spatial mapping” is a major source of human error. Our mixed reality applications solve this by overlaying the 3D CAD model directly onto the aircraft. Technicians can see a holographic representation of the wiring, ducting, or structural components in situ, ensuring they perform the correct action on the correct part, every single time. This is a critical application of immersive technology.
- Creating a Flawless Digital Audit Trail: Compliance is non-negotiable in aviation. Our mixed reality solutions streamline the inspection and documentation process. A technician can follow a holographic checklist, and as each step is completed, the system can automatically capture photographic evidence and log the action. This creates a seamless, error-proof digital audit trail that enhances accountability and simplifies regulatory compliance. The efficiency gains from this technology are significant.
The Science of Effective Learning with Mixed Reality
The power of mixed reality lies in its synergy with human cognition. Unlike virtual reality, which removes the user from their environment, this technology anchors digital information in the real world. This approach is fundamentally aligned with how we learn and process information, and it is the scientific foundation of Cuberlab’s solutions.
- Minimising Cognitive Load for Better Performance: As established in seminal research, forcing a learner to split their attention between a manual and a physical task increases “cognitive load,” leading to mental fatigue and errors. Mixed reality solves this fundamental problem. By presenting instructions in the context of the task itself, we eliminate the need for the brain to constantly switch focus. This is a core principle of our mixed reality training philosophy.
- Harnessing the Power of Situated Learning: People learn best by doing, in the actual environment where the skill will be used. This is the theory of situated learning, and it is at the heart of our training. By blending the digital and physical, we create a learning experience that is immediate, relevant, and directly applicable. This is why skills learned through our mixed reality programmes are retained longer and transferred more effectively to real-world performance.
