Context

Industrial service and maintenance technicians face critical on-the-job safety hazards and life-threatening situations. It, thus becomes extremely important for novice technician to get access to training beforehand.

Requirement

Took complete ownership of the project to deliver a functional, immersive safety training simulation. My tasks involved research, design and development phases-creating technical architecture, environment design, systems programming, instructional design, etc.. among other tasks.

Solution

The simulation allowed a trainee to explore the hazardous environment while performing safety processes withing a training session.

A virtual environment, replicating real-life scenario was created. A reactive simulation of the environment was programmed and the guided training was build on top of it.

A companion assessment module was prototyped which demonstrated a system to evaluate trainee performance within a VR simulation.

Outcome

The initial high-detail prototype earning appreciation from BU leadership. This success expanded the project scope, leading to extended team to scale visual fidelity and integrate advanced features.
