Virtual reality technology has demonstrated great potential as a training platform for construction and manufacturing companies training and education programs. Despite the effectiveness of programs that have already been developed, there is still a generally low acceptance of the technology in industry circles. This blog will explore the benefits of VR safety training in construction and manufacturing and discuss a major factor in the slow adoption of the technology. VR Safety Training Study Safety training should include teaching employees how to assess and identify potential hazards, report safety issues to the right people, and manage safety matters to prevent the event from reoccurring. Virtual reality takes the physically complicated and breaks it down into actionable steps that makes training information easier to complete and retain with its virtual environments. According to a study done on Science Direct titled Virtual reality in construction safety training , the external mo...

Virtual reality is easily one of the most popular technologies in the modern world. The foremost reasons for this are the immersive nature of each experience, the quality and quantity of games that are VR compatible, and its versatility as a gaming, training, and educational tool. The best part about it is that virtual reality development is creating newer, better ways to complete traditional tasks because of its ability to trick the human brain into thinking that the actions taken within the simulation are happening for real. It doesn’t matter if the heavy machinery or chemical compounds are real or not if the simulation can teach the brain to complete the tasks with accuracy that transfers directly to the real world. How does virtual reality trick your brain into thinking that the virtual simulation you’re using is in fact the physical world? Logically, we can sit in a room and understand that it’s a simulation. We’re wearing head mounted displays (HMDs) and sensors that track our mo...
