The aim of the ACIS project (Intelligent Simulator in Collaborative Immersive Virtual Reality for the prevention of occupational risks due to crushing in metal or plastic industries / Simulador inteligente en Realidad Virtual Inmersiva Colaborativa para la prevención de riesgos laborales por aplastamiento en industrias del metal o plástico) is to develop an immersive virtual reality simulator for training in occupational risk prevention.
ACIS
Project approved as part of the 2021 call for research projects on occupational risk prevention by public universities of the Consejería de Industria, Comercio y Empleo of the Junta de Castilla y León.
Ref. Number: 2021/00125/001

- The project specialises in the training of operators, teaching them to interact correctly with different types of industrial machinery (large metalworking machinery, overhead cranes, forklifts, etc.), with the possibility of introducing up to 3 workers at the same time in the same virtual environment, encouraging collaboration as well as learning to avoid occupational hazards.
- Thanks to Virtual Reality, the operator can experience total immersion, feeling inside the work environment. In addition, this technology makes it possible to collect all the data from their learning process: reaction times, movements made, reactions and decisions taken, places they look at, etc.
- The project is materialised in educational games with different tests, phases and challenges at various levels of difficulty. The student or worker is accompanied throughout the experience by an intelligent tutor who respects the learning pace of each student and adapts the proposed situations to their way of processing information.
