Virtual training systems provide highly realistic training environments for police. This study assesses whether a pain stimulus can enhance the training responses and sense of the presence of these systems. Police officers (n = 219) were trained either with or without a pain stimulus in a 2D simulator …

During the graduation period, I have worked with Leiden University Medical Center on bringing to reality the first steps to creating a complementary training tool for their residents. As a result, together with an IMT&S team, we designed and created a demo application which simulates a kidney transplant …

When emergencies occur in any kind of workspace, the personnel need to be adequately trained to respond correctly to the ongoing situation. The main problem with almost every type of training simulation is the amount of money that needs to be spent on simulating the real potential emergency. Connec2 …

In het onderwijs wordt er gekeken of VR een leermiddel kan zijn om situaties te simuleren die normaal gesproken risicovol zijn. VR heeft namelijk de potentie om een levensecht lijkende, rijke leeromgeving te creëren. Door middel van VR ben je in staat om interactief veranderingen aan te brengen. Je ziet, …

Strukton Rail wants to try new training methods for their employees by creating a virtual reality simulation where the workers can practice in a safe environment. Strukton employees have to do maintenance work in heights in the rail track. Besides the risks related to the actual job of working in heights, …

Strukton Rail is interested in facilitating training and increasing employee safety awareness through a VR simulation. In this paper it is discussed in how far audio can be used in order to increase the immersion of the simulation. Besides the well-known means of spatial audio, there are other means …

As Strukton Rail faces absence under employees that work on railroad construction sites, a change must be made. Part of this absence is caused by occupational accidents. With modern-day technology, Strukton Rail would like to explore the possibilities of a virtual reality training simulator to increase …
