Abstract: |
This paper focuses on the application
of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies and Virtual Environments (VEs) on the industrial field regarding safety. The issues
of the industrial field are initially presented, focusing on the safety tasks
currently performed in the sector. The Virtual Reality technology’s
innovative character is then presented, focusing on how this technology can
by itself aid the safety processes or in combination with other novel
technologies. The latter approach provides significant aids to methodologies
that are currently used towards industrial safety and the reduction of
accidents. Under this scope, this paper will refer to training, safety
management, risk assessment and accident investigation as the four main
safety actions currently performed in industrial fields. The paper closes by
presenting in general the applicability and innovative character of VR
applied to the aforementioned four safety actions as well as presenting a
concrete use case example. |
