Virtual Reality in Patch Grafting

Virtual Reality / Agriculteur

Patch grafting is a common technique used to replace or add buds on trees by fitting a small patch of bark with a bud into a rootstock. Our VR Patch Grafting project makes it possible to learn this method step by step in a safe and engaging virtual environment. Users can practice making precise cuts, placing the bud patch correctly, and aligning it for successful growth—all without using real plants.

Through VR, learners can repeat the process as many times as needed to gain confidence and master the technique. This approach saves time, reduces mistakes, and provides a modern way to learn grafting for students, farmers, and horticulturists.
