About

VitiVR is a virtual reality (VR) training simulation designed in 2017, focusing initially on vine pruning — a critical skill in viticulture. Developed to support education in viticulture, enology, and agricultural sciences, VitiVR offers an immersive, interactive environment where users can translate theoretical knowledge into practical skills through experiential learning.
As an innovative digital learning tool, VitiVR enhances job orientation and vocational training by simulating real-life vineyard scenarios. It promotes learner engagement, supports skill acquisition, and reduces the gap between classroom instruction and hands-on fieldwork. By incorporating VR technology into agricultural education, VitiVR empowers both students and professionals to build competence in a controlled, repeatable, and risk-free environment.

VitiVR enables safe failure — a cornerstone of effective experiential learning. Trainees are encouraged to explore, make decisions, and learn from mistakes without causing irreversible damage to real vines or incurring financial loss. This risk-free practice fosters confidence, promotes self-directed learning, and accelerates skill development before learners enter real-world vineyard settings.
