“…More in detail, HMD-based VR turns out to be more effective when compared to other training systems, for a wide range of applications such as surgery [6] (HMD compared to video trainer), aircraft visual inspection [7] (HMD compared to PC-based training tool), power production [8] (HMD compared to traditional training), mining industry [9] (HMD compared to screen-based and projector-base training).…”

In conditionally automated vehicles, drivers can engage in secondary activities while traveling to their destination. However, drivers are required to appropriately respond, in a limited amount of time, to a take-over request when the system reaches its functional boundaries. Interacting with the car in the proper way from the first ride is crucial for car and road safety in general. For this reason, it is necessary to train drivers in a risk-free environment by providing them the best practice to use these complex systems. In this context, Virtual Reality (VR) systems represent a promising training and learning tool to properly familiarize drivers with the automated vehicle and allow them to interact with the novel equipment involved. In addition, Head-Mounted Display (HMD)-based VR (light VR) would allow for the easy deployment of such training systems in driving schools or car dealerships. In this study, the effectiveness of a light Virtual Reality training program for acquiring interaction skills in automated cars was investigated. The effectiveness of this training was compared to a user manual and a fixed-base simulator with respect to both objective and self-reported measures. Sixty subjects were randomly assigned to one of the systems in which they went through a training phase followed by a test drive in a high-end driving simulator. Results show that the training system affects the take-over performances. Moreover, self-reported measures indicate that the light VR training is preferred with respect to the other systems. Finally, another important outcome of this research is the evidence that VR plays a strategic role in the definition of the set of metrics for profiling proper driver interaction with the automated vehicle.

“…With such a scale and variety of contemporary threats, effective counteracting them is not possible with the participation of individual entities of the state security system. Cooperation on many levels is required, one of these levels is to conduct a training system (Avveduto, 2017) preparing for collision-free cooperation of entities in the implementation of entrusted tasks related to effective counteracting and combating the phenomenon of terrorism, which requires cooperation covering all levels of cooperation of security system entities performing tasks within the indicated range.…”

Purpose:The objective of this article was to present the analyzes of the needs of state security entities in the context of training, with particular emphasis on the analysis of technological possibilities of virtual reality laboratories in line with the paradigm of digital training technologies. Design/Methodology/Approach: Analysis of the well-known literature, the authors' experience of R&D and implementation in the area of security, requirements of state security entities and best practices in the field of digital training technologies were taken into account. Findings: The result of the work is a set of identified features required for training systems for state security entities, in particular for training anti-terrorist and counter-terrorist activities. Practical Implications: Virtual solutions will not replace training on real equipment, however, they enable repetitive training in conditions similar to real ones, reducing training costs and enabling instructors to constantly increase the level of training difficulty. Taking into account the deficiencies in the infrastructure of uniformed and military services and the prevailing trend to develop training facilities and improve the competences of officers and soldiers at every level.Originality/value: It can be concluded that the presented solutions will have a positive impact on the level of interdisciplinary training in the field of planning, preparation, implementation and consequences of actions taken.

“…[40][41][42][43] Of the many areas set to benefit from VR technologies, safe practices for the physical sciences presents a significant opportunity. 27,[29][30][31][32][33][34]39,[44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54] Having stated this, exploration of VR in the Chemistry space remains in relative infancy. In higher education, pre-lab training in VR has the potential to address these issues giving students multiple attempts to complete core protocols virtually in advance of experimental work, creating the time and space to practice outside of the physical laboratory.…”

“…The primary question for this study can be framed as follows: When evaluated on a controlled basis, how do VR and traditional video slide training versions of the same safety-critical task compare? Whilst some rare studies have investigated the effectiveness of VR in the chemical safety space previously, 30,45,47,50,51,87 there is presently no consistent approach used for the psychological evaluation of VR versus a more traditional (non-immersive) method of safety training.…”

<p>High-profile accidents in the Chemical sector – across research and manufacturing scales – have provided strong drivers to develop a new benchmark in safety training and compliance. Herein, we describe the design, implementation, and standardised psychological evaluation of Virtual Reality (VR) applied to process safety training. Through a specific industrial case study, we show that testable learning of complex safety-specific tasks in VR is statistically equivalent to traditional slide-based video training. However, VR training presents a measurable positive improvement on trainees’ perception of overall learning, and their feeling of presence in the task during training. It has also been shown that knowledge retention from video lectures can be overestimated, if not controlled. Through these results – and our transferable blueprint for robustly assessing any new VR training platform – we envisage a range of technologically-enabled efforts to enhance safety performance in both laboratory and plant-based activities. Implications for physical resource-saving projects are also described. <b></b></p>
