The document discusses the future of simulation in mining. It outlines how simulation can be used for various applications in mining including longwall mining, mine planning, remote operation, and automation. It also discusses the convergence of simulation, gaming, and virtual/augmented realities and how these technologies are being combined and applied for training, visualization, and control in the mining industry. The challenges of remote mining operations are also highlighted along with how new technologies like simulation and augmented reality can be used to address these challenges.
