Abstract |
Virtual reality (VR) has potential practical applications in various sectors such as medicine, industry, architecture and engineering. This article provides a definition of VR and examines several examples of industrial applications that illustrate the links between VR and the prevention of occupational hazards. In this field, INRS has launched a research project focusing on the design of safe equipment and on occupational safety and health training. The current status of this project is described, together with the practical benefits it is expected to deliver. Ethical issues relating to the use of VR systems are also addressed. |
