The development of a virtual reality self escape simulation tool for the purposes of training and assessment

Bawelkiewicz, Konrad Jack, Mining Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, UNSW January 2005 (has links)
This study investigates the research on current self escape practices, the need for training on emergency evacuation procedures and the use of virtual reality simulations for the purposes of training. Thus, this project focuses on the advantages of using virtual reality as an educational tool and follows the development and design aspects of the tool. It includes each phase in development of the tool, including current research on self escape practices, training needs analyses and the actual design phases of the simulation. The design phase focuses on the objects and animations required to be implemented in order to create a realistic virtual mine. The programming logic of the simulation tool is also examined. Moreover, the final simulation is evaluated and proved to be an appropriate form of assessment and efficient learning environment for the trainee. Furthermore, recommendations are made for future developments.
