EHS VR in teaching and research at Wrocław University of Science and Technology

Our VR applications support education and training in many fields. One example is Wrocław University of Science and Technology, where they are used in teaching and research at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and the Faculty of Mining, Geology and Geoinformatics.

At the Faculty of Civil Engineering, within the Department of General Construction, our VR applications are used in the course “Construction Production Organization and Investment Project Management.” They support classes on BIM (Building Information Modeling) in its 8D dimension, which covers safety during the design and execution of construction projects. The use of virtual reality allows students to interactively explore construction-related hazards and familiarize themselves with safety procedures in a realistic virtual environment.

Our VR applications are also used in undergraduate diploma theses in fields such as civil engineering and occupational health and safety. Students from these disciplines assess the effectiveness of VR-based safety training, which helps them better prepare for real-world construction site risks. Such training becomes more effective because it allows for the safe simulation of critical situations and the real-time assessment of risks.

Our applications are also used in scientific research, including doctoral dissertations at Wrocław University of Science and Technology. These studies focus on the impact of virtual reality on improving safety in construction processes. The research examines the use of VR to identify potentially hazardous areas on construction sites and to evaluate the effectiveness of safety training programs. Virtual reality makes these analyses and training more realistic, with the aim of making construction work safer.

We are proud to support the education of future engineers at Wrocław University of Science and Technology and to give them tools that will help them with the challenges of their professional careers.
