“…For instance, large data sets produced by a 24/7 sensor network and analyzed by ML‐enabled algorithms have the potential to improve surveillance of OSH effects, decrease uncertainty in risk assessment and management practices, and stimulate new avenues of OSH research. AI‐enabled virtual reality training can also be used to create dynamic, high‐fidelity immersive environments to simulate hazardous situations and enhance a worker's hazard recognition capabilities 84 . A prospective issue in AL‐enabled sensor use, however, relates to privacy concerns given that more organizations are managing their workforces using sensor technology, cloud‐based human resource systems, and ML‐enabled data analytics in an approach called “people analytics.” 85 To protect worker privacy, proposed best practices for employer‐sponsored worker monitoring programs include using only validated sensor technologies; ensuring voluntary worker participation; ceasing data collection outside the workplace; disclosing all data uses; and ensuring secure data storage.…”

The future of work embodies changes to the workplace, work, and workforce, which require additional occupational safety and health (OSH) stakeholder attention. Examples include workplace developments in organizational design, technological job displacement, and work arrangements; work advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, and technologies; and workforce changes in demographics, economic security, and skills. This paper presents the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's Future of Work Initiative; suggests an integrated approach to address worker safety, health, and well‐being; introduces priority topics and subtopics that confer a framework for upcoming future of work research directions and resultant practical applications; and discusses preliminary next steps. All future of work issues impact one another. Future of work transformations are contingent upon each of the standalone factors discussed in this paper and their combined effects. Occupational safety and health stakeholders are becoming more aware of the significance and necessity of these factors for the workplace, work, and workforce to flourish, merely survive, or disappear altogether as the future evolves. The future of work offers numerous opportunities, while also presenting critical but not clearly understood difficulties, exposures, and hazards. It is the responsibility of OSH researchers and other partners to understand the implications of future of work scenarios to translate effective interventions into practice for employers safeguarding the safety, health, and well‐being of their workers.

“…This is defined as the hardware-software binomial, which works in the interaction with the user through effective synchronous communication [7], and it has the capacity for isolation from real life and immersion in a virtual life [15,16]. Virtual reality could also solve even more complex problems [15].…”

“…According to the research included for review and analysis, conventional 2D methods are still used currently to support projects [6], although it is stated that these traditional methods do not have enough interaction, nor the same understanding produced by experimenting with virtual reality technology [11,21], even though these technological methods are extraordinarily superior to traditional ones [1][2][3]6,11,15,[21][22].…”

Background: Virtual reality (VR) technology is an effective, interactive and immersive type of communication since it produces greater interest and attention in the user, thereby allowing greater understanding and comprehension than with more traditional methods. On the other hand, not much information is known about the application of this novel technology in the context of social acceptance as far as the mining sector is concerned; our approach and methodology were based on scoping review (Prisma-SrC, Daudt et al., Arksey, and O'Malley). The research terms were also planned before, with the aim of carrying out three posterior screening levels, among which was the use of EndNote 20 and the PICO framework. Exhaustive research was carried out in nine databases. We obtained n=2 research articles of n=923 initially found, all of which went through three levels of filtering. The chosen articles were evaluated according to Hawker et al. 's methodological rigor, to be included in the review. This scoping review could be the starting point for a series of further investigations that would fill the gap in the literature on this topic, emphasizing experimental articles to confirm the impact of virtual reality technologies on the communities within the sphere of influence of a mining project.

This article presents the results of the performance studies of applications created with use of CryEngine and Unity game engines. Presented research was mainly focused on comparison of two applications created on selected engines. Several parameters were selected for the research: frame rate, CPU usage, RAM usage and generation time of 3D objects. Created applications were built with the use of the same graphic resources and similar source code. The hypotheses set in the article – Unity game engine is more efficient than CryEngine – have been verified and partially confirmed: engines are more efficient in different environments.
