Working at Heights VR Training
Created in Unreal Engine with C++ and Blueprints
As a software engineer at Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), I was the lead developer the INAIL mixed reality training project "Caduta dall'Alto" (Falling from Heights). My primary responsibilities include VR development and UE4 programming for the creation of a VR-based simulation for training workers operating at height. Virtual training environments are seen to be more effective than conventional methods, when it comes to the acquisition of safety behaviour, and can increase trainee’s engagement.
Our lab is located at the VICARIOS Mixed Reality and Simulations Lab in the Advanced Robotics (ADVR) Research Line at IIT in Genova, Italy, under the supervision of Nikhil Deshpande and Darwin Caldwell. It aims to stimulate users to vicariously experience a remote environment, real or virtual. Through approaches in immersive mixed reality, telerobotics, and biomechanical simulations and control, the objective is to advance the understanding of human interaction with remote environments.
