Dairy Australia launched its new virtual reality (VR) technology, an exciting new immersive experience for primary school students.
Dairy Australia has produced a series of virtual reality immersive experiences that offer insights into what happens on dairy farms, how milk is produced and the careers available in the Australian dairy industry. These interactive experiences have been created to educate and engage students in a fun way by virtually transporting them to different dairy scenarios all from the comfort of their classrooms, helping them learn more about where dairy comes from.
360 Virtual Farm Tour
Through an immersive, educational experience, using VR headsets, school aged children are transported to a dairy farm, where they have the opportunity to learn what it takes to turn grass into milk. The experience guides students through the process of making dairy foods – from the paddock and milking shed to processing, packing, and even cheese making.
How milk is made
Also included in our immersive VR experience is a tour through a cow rumen. ‘How Cows Create Milk’ is a 3D animated tour of the digestive system of a cow. Watch the below video to learn how a blade of grass travels through the cow’s rumen, made up of four stomachs and through a fascinating process is eventually turned into milk.
Careers in the dairy industry
An interactive Careers Virtual Tour, provides students with the chance to explore the different careers on offer in the Australian Dairy Industry. Hear from real farmers, vets, cheesemakers and more to learn about their roles, their advice and how to get into a rewarding job in dairy.
Access the 'Dairy Jobs that Matter' virtual tour to find resources and information to help student and jobseekers discover dairy jobs that matter.
