Immersive Environment for Training on Industrial Emergencies

Abstract

This work presents the development of an interactive virtual environment for training in emergencies that may arise in industrial environments. This environment contains equipment and usual structures in production plants with a high risk index, simulations of accidents and potential hazards that must be overcome by the user. The application has been created using a CAD tool and the Unity3D graphics engine that, combined with peripheral input devices, provide a high level of immersion, all in order to recreate the sensations that the person could feel in case of facing an adverse situation that requires the user knowledge and skills in security issues and protocols.
