Virtual reality provides great opportunities for operator education and training. This project has been executed in the pilot plant of Gonvauto Galicia, in Marín, where Gonvarri is investing in improving its production processes through new technologies. The simulator focuses on the use of an overhead crane in order to understand the possible occupational risks that this device may entail. The simulator was developed to be used with Oculus virtual reality helmets Rift™ and was developed on the Unreal Engine video game engine.
