Episode 13: VR LaboSafe Game - A serious game for chemical labs
Listen now
Description
VR LaboSafe Game is a serious game that utilises immersive virtual reality to train the safety awareness and safety behaviour in chemical laboratories. In this game, laboratory workers learn to accurately identify risks, minimise these risks and perform experiments safely. Unsafe behaviour and unresolved risks result in simulated consequences that trainees experience without real harm to themselves or others. Try it out yourself! There is a demo version available for the Oculus Quest 2 on this GitHub repository: https://github.com/PhilippeChan/VRLaboSafeGameDemo
