Silman 97: VR Simulator

Virtual Reality occupational risk prevention tool

This virtual reality experience has been developed in collaboration with Silman 97 and occupational safety experts, aiming to raise awareness among workers about the risks associated with working at heights.

We designed a 3D environment representing a construction site. Users can explore the site, interact with tools and materials, and climb to the roof. The attention to detail, from cranes to roofing panels, ensures an immersive experience.

The experience begins with the selection of PPE, where a variety of options are presented that will determine the course of the experience. Subsequently, the user must climb to the roof via scaffolding, with the experience differing based on whether the appropriate equipment was chosen. Through realistic movements and processes, the user can place different panels on the roof. Next, a fall occurs when the panel placed under the user’s feet breaks. Depending on whether the user chose to wear a harness, two types of falls can be experienced.

Our height fall simulator has been a success in worker training. We have received positive feedback from construction and maintenance companies regarding this virtual reality occupational risk prevention tool.

Virtual Reality

Immersive 3D simulation

Users can explore a detailed and realistic environment, providing a visually impactful learning experience.

Realistic fall experience

The fall clearly illustrates the consequences of not using proper protective equipment and teaches the importance of following safety regulations.

Immediate feedback

It provides real-time feedback on the user's decisions and actions, helping to correct mistakes.

Challenge

Our challenge was to create a virtual reality tool for effective training that allows workers to realistically experience the risks of falling from a roof and the need for proper use of PPE to avoid dangerous situations.

Solution

An interactive 3D environment that allows users to safely and thoroughly experience the risks of working at heights. The simulation includes choosing PPE, climbing to the roof, and placing panels, with a focus on demonstrating the real consequences of not using the appropriate equipment.
