Introducing NGeOT (pronounced nee-yo) your Next Gen Operator Trainer and virtual reality guide. NGeOT will introduce you to VR and your Real-Forklift on your first use. Once done with the initial introduction, NGeOT is ready to assist, appearing on your in-forklift Tablet. Just say hey nee-yo and you will see NGeOT come to focus on the tablet.

When NGeOT is listening he will help with basic tasks with more features added regularly:

• Respond to NGeOT’s instruction while you quickly calibrate and align your real self with your virtual self
• Have NGeOT start your next training activity. Just say something like, “start training”, “what’s next”, “start next lesson”
• Check your training progress. Just say, “open training menu”
• Have NGeOT provide detail responses or short responses. Just say, “speak more” or “speak less”
• Get assistance while training. If you aren’t sure what to do next on a lesson, just say, “I’m lost”, “what do I do next”, “help me”, “I need help” – (currently only implemented for lesson 103)
• have NGeOT enable/disable pedestrians. Just say, “enable pedestrians” or “disable pedestrians”

Lesson resume feature. Finding it difficult to complete a longer lesson in one stint? Now you can pick up at your last completed checkpoint. Currently, this is implemented for Lesson 103 with more to come.

We’ve added some additional guidance on the new user creation form to help first-time users.

We want your feedback. Now when you are done training, you will have the option to take a quick survey.

Have some fun. NGeOT will now recognize some hand gestures. Give him the peace sign, or maybe point at him. Try different gestures and see what he has to say.
