More like VR loading

Pretty nifty use of tech. Video gamers can now transition to real world jobs with reduced emotional trauma.

It would be interesting to see the VR view. I am sure there is great detail. The major advantage, off the top of my head, is that they do not need to provided
the operator with a swiveling seat and view, he just stays sitting in the driver's seat once he pulls up and then unloads/loads.
Yes, probable very similar to a video game.

I believe the boom mounted camera views @ 0:02 - 0:03, 0:11-0:15, 0:30-0:32,0:50-0:55 is the VR view of the operator.

My only concern is does it allow the operator to know when logs hit the boom? This would eventually cause expensive damage.

Would also like to see more of the VR view because camera views are so different from eyes. If the field of view is as wide as most humans - the details are usually hard to pick out or small. Maybe the VR goggles handles that part but the peripheral is very important for work like that.
