 Objectives of VR in Fall Protection:

Virtual Reality – the “in-thing” in technology for business

operation. Eg. Selling of hotel rooms or show flat.

Using technology to enhance the safety of the workers via

training:

• Warn the workers who work at height the danger of a fall;

• Create a “virtual fall” awareness;

• Incorporate into our WAH Training Program.

 3M developed 2 versions of the VR devices
The main characteristics of each system are:

Mobile devices:
 No installation required;
 Can be used in any place at any time;
 Short experiences oriented toward commercial use and/or increasing awareness.

Premium devices:
 Better quality graphics;
 Interaction with hands and ability to manipulate objects;
 Room scale positioning (with ability to walk freely around the room);
 Longer experiences oriented more specifically toward simulators, training, and
education.

The differences between both systems are a result of the fact that the portable kits are run
on a smartphone and the permanent station is run on a powerful dedicated PC.

 Augmented reality is the blending of virtual reality and real life,
as developers can create images within applications that blend in
with contents in the real world. With AR, users are able to interact
with virtual contents in the real world, and are able to distinguish
between the two. Eg. Google glasses

Virtual reality is all about the creation of a virtual world that users
can interact with. This virtual world should be designed in such a
way that users would find it difficult to tell the difference from
what is real and what is not. VR is usually achieved by the wearing
of a VR helmet or goggles similar to the Oculus Rift.
