Empowering Educators: Transforming TVET with Immersive Virtual Reality Training


Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is the backbone of Malaysia’s industrial future, but traditional classroom methods often fall short of preparing students for the complexities of the modern workplace. Cuberlab is bridging this gap by integrating immersive learning into the curriculum, offering a new dimension of hands-on, practical education. The use of virtual reality provides a unique and powerful solution to long-standing training challenges.
- Safe, Cost-Effective Practical Training: Many vocational trades, such as welding or handling high-voltage systems, carry inherent risks. Our virtual reality training modules allow students to practice these hazardous tasks in a completely safe and controlled simulated environment. They can make mistakes, learn from them, and repeat procedures until they achieve mastery, all without any danger to themselves or expensive equipment. This makes high-quality, practical training in immersive tech more accessible and safer than ever before, democratising access to top-tier vocational skills that are essential for Industry 4.0.
- Accelerated Learning and Skill Mastery: Static textbooks and 2D diagrams fail to convey complex, three-dimensional concepts effectively. With immersive simulations, students can step inside a machine, see its components in 3D, and observe how they interact. This interactive, multi-sensory approach to learning improves engagement, accelerates comprehension, and significantly boosts knowledge retention. It ensures that TVET graduates enter the workforce with a deeper, more intuitive understanding of their trade, making them more effective from their first day on the job. This is the power of virtual reality.
- Developing Future-Ready Creators: Our training goes beyond consumption. We teach both educators and students the fundamentals of virtual reality development using industry-standard tools like Unity. This approach transforms students from passive learners into active creators, giving them the skills to build the immersive applications of the future. This hands-on experience makes them highly valuable graduates in the job market, capable of driving innovation from within their future companies.
Driving the Automotive Industry Forward with Customised VR Training


The modern automotive industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace, with electric vehicles (EVs) and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) introducing new levels of complexity. Cuberlab partners with automotive companies to develop in-house expertise in virtual reality, enabling them to create scalable and highly specific training solutions that accelerate skill development.
- Mastering Electric Vehicle Assembly and Maintenance: The assembly and repair of high-voltage EV batteries is a high-stakes task requiring specialised knowledge. We train automotive teams to build their own virtual reality simulations that replicate these procedures with complete accuracy. This allows technicians to practice handling battery modules and diagnosing faults in a safe, controlled environment, ensuring they are fully competent before working on a live vehicle. Our training in immersive technology is crucial for this transition, ensuring safety and competence.
- Enhancing Diagnostic and Repair Capabilities: Identifying and fixing a fault in a modern vehicle is as much about understanding software as it is about mechanics. Our virtual reality scenarios simulate a wide range of electronic and mechanical faults, from faulty sensors to battery management issues. Technicians can practice their diagnostic process in a controlled environment, learning to identify problems and implement solutions efficiently. This builds critical problem-solving skills and drastically reduces the time it takes to get vehicles back on the road.
- Creating Immersive Sales and Customer Experiences: We train marketing and sales teams on how to leverage immersive technology to engage customers. By learning to use AR and virtual reality, they can create their own interactive virtual showrooms where customers can explore a vehicle’s features, customise configurations, and even experience a simulated test drive. This training empowers companies to create dynamic and memorable brand experiences that set them apart in a competitive market.
Building In-House Expertise for Manufacturing with Immersive Technology


For Malaysia’s manufacturing sector to thrive in Industry 4.0, it must embrace digitalisation and upskill its workforce. Cuberlab provides targeted training in virtual reality and augmented reality, giving companies the in-house capability to build their own immersive solutions and drive continuous improvement.
- Training Teams to Build Digital Twins for Process Optimisation: We train engineers and managers on how to use immersive platforms to create “digital twins” of their factory floors. These virtual replicas allow them to simulate new production line layouts, test workflow efficiencies, and identify potential safety hazards before making costly physical changes. Our training provides the skills to use virtual reality as a powerful tool for data-driven decision-making and lean manufacturing, saving millions in potential costs.
- Empowering Companies to Create Their Own AR Work Instructions: Instead of simply providing a one-off solution, we train your team to build and manage their own augmented reality work instruction systems. This sustainable approach allows companies to create dynamic, 3D holographic guides for any assembly or maintenance task on the factory floor. This in-house capability in immersive tech, including virtual reality, ensures that training content can be updated and scaled as your processes evolve, providing long-term value.
Achieving Mastery in Aircraft MRO through Expert-Led VR Training


In the high-stakes world of Aircraft Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO), the quality of training is directly linked to safety. Cuberlab provides highly specialised training in virtual reality, enabling aerospace companies to build immersive, high-fidelity simulations that ensure their technicians perform at the highest level of competence and precision.
- Developing High-Fidelity Simulation for Critical Tasks: We work with MRO organisations to train their subject matter experts and instructional designers on creating photorealistic simulations of critical maintenance procedures. From landing gear assembly to engine inspection, these training modules allow technicians to practice complex, hands-on tasks in a fully immersive environment. The goal of this virtual reality training is to build procedural memory and confidence, ensuring flawless execution in the real world.
- Eliminating Ambiguity and Reducing Human Error: The vast majority of aviation incidents are linked to human error, often caused by the misinterpretation of complex 2D technical manuals. By replacing these documents with immersive, 3D work instructions, we eliminate ambiguity. The technician can see exactly which part to work on and how it fits within the larger assembly, which has been shown to drastically reduce errors and improve the overall quality of maintenance work. The use of virtual reality here is paramount to safety.
The Science Behind Our Training: Reducing Cognitive Load with Immersive Learning
At Cuberlab, we understand that the effectiveness of virtual reality is not just about technology; it’s about neuroscience and psychology. Our training programmes are built on a foundation of cognitive science, teaching your teams not just *what* to build, but *why* it works to create effective learning tools.
- Applying Cognitive Load Theory to Instructional Design: A key part of our curriculum is training developers and designers on Cognitive Load Theory. We teach them how to create virtual reality experiences that minimise “extraneous load” (the mental effort of figuring out the interface) and maximise “germane load” (the mental effort dedicated to learning the skill). This scientific approach ensures the solutions they build are incredibly efficient learning tools, making the most of every minute of training.
- Mastering Mayer’s Principles for Multimedia Learning: We train your teams to apply proven pedagogical frameworks, such as Mayer’s 12 Principles of Multimedia, directly to the design of your immersive content. This ensures that every simulation, instruction, and interaction is crafted to be clear, concise, and neurologically effective. This evidence-based approach to designing virtual reality training is what sets Cuberlab apart and guarantees a higher quality of learning outcome for all participants.
