Virtual Reality Training
Virtual Reality Training is a type of training method that includes computer-based interactive 3D simulations of virtual equipment that replicates actual real-life scenarios. While this method has been in use for soldiers, surgeons, and astronauts for decades, it is now becoming increasingly popular for corporations. The Covid-19 pandemic and the push to remote work are supporting the rise of this technology.[1]
Applications
Mining Industry
Many mining accidents can be attributed to inadequate or insufficient training.[2] With Virtual Reality training, one can simulate exposure to a real working environment without the associated risk.[3]
Clothing industry
Goodstyle uses neural networks to quickly process and add clothes to the catalog. Another neural network is in development, and it will make the application more personalized.[4]
Neurosurgery
With Virtual Reality training, trainees may use real instruments and video equipment to practice in simulated surgeries.[5] Through the revolution of computational analysis abilities, fully immersive VR models are currently available in neurosurgery training. Ventriculostomy catheters insertion, endoscopic and endovascular simulations are used in neurosurgical residency training centers across the world. Experts see VR training as an essential part of the curriculum for the future training of neurosurgeons. [6]
Concerns and challenges
Possible symptoms while using a VR headset are twitches, seizures, or blackouts. However, only one in 4,000 people (0.025%) may experience these symptoms. These symptoms are more common among people under the age of 20. These symptoms are also called Virtual reality sickness (also known as cybersickness) and are similar to motion sickness symptoms.[7] They are caused when the vestibular system, the body's internal balancing system, does not experience the motion that it expects from visual input through the eyes. Meaning a disconnect between what is seen and the rest of the body’s perception. [8]
Another risk pointed out is the physical interaction with one's environment. People might lose awareness of their real-world surroundings and may injure themselves by tripping over or colliding with real-world objects.[9] Thus, ensuring an empty area (around 2 meters x 2 meters) is inevitable.
