Health Safety Training for Industry in Virtual Reality
Ján Lacko
Abstract
In this paper we describe the possibilities of using virtual reality methods for training and testing of employees of industrial companies in the field of health and safety at work. We focus on creating scenarios that aim to show correct practices and potential user failures to prevent injuries and economic damage. We show the possibilities of virtual reality in this area in specific scenarios, combining first person and third person view cameras for some scenarios. At the same time, we describe the key parts of the system and evaluate the impact of training in virtual reality compared to training without it. We focus on the key benefits of immersion and emotion induced by virtual reality on the rememberability of security practices.
