Innovative and Comprehensive Support System for Training People Working in Dangerous Conditions

The visuals used in the virtual environment keep the trainees interested and facilitates the memorization of information as well as consolidates their skills. Wireless HMD (Head Mounted Display) and the motion capture technology are used in order to involve muscle memory and improve the effectiveness of trainings. All training scenarios are fully integrated with ICT training assessment system. The possibility of practical application of the VR-based training into the educational process of workers can have a significant impact on improving collective and individual work safety. VR-based training is a particularly valuable for people working in dangerous conditions, where the accident rate is clearly higher than in other branches of the economy. Moreover VR-based training allows to support the rehabilitation and physiotherapy process in order to accelerate the return to work after injuries.
