Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture and others have developed a learning program to learn how to grow grapes using VR = virtual reality technology, and a hands-on event was held at a high school.

Izumo City and others are developing a learning system to learn cultivation methods using VR = virtual reality technology in order to raise young farmers and new farmers who are newly engaged in agriculture.

On the 21st, a trial learning program experience session was held at Izumo Agricultural and Forestry High School, and nine third-year students participated.

Students can wear their own goggles and operate the controllers in their hands while scissors in a virtual reality vineyard, as they can experience the task of reducing the number of grapes before they grow to look good. I used to cut out one grain at a time.

In the future, Izumo City and others will develop learning programs such as pruning work and aim to put them into practical use.

A girl student who is aiming to become a grape farmer said, "There were some difficulties unlike the reality, but I think it is easy for new farmers to work on it as if it were a game."

Hideo Aku, chief of the Agricultural Promotion Division of Izumo City, said, "While the number of farmers is decreasing, the only way to develop the production area is to increase the number of new farmers, and we used VR technology. I was talking.
