APPROACH
Virtual Reality training developed for both tethered and untethered VR headsets.

The Problem

Despite a lot of work by HSE teams over the last decade in addressing safe driving there are still significant challenges in reversing the number of incidents.


The Solution – Comprehensive Desert driving VR simulation

SHIIFT created an immersive VR application that engages trainees, conveying the basics to all employees. Designed to work alongside other forms of teaching to significantly improve understanding of the basics of driving safely. Performance data captured is used to inform HSE supervisors of the levels of understanding achieved by users. The concept is simple in approach:

The user is introduced to the subject and placed within environments where they can dictate outcomes.

  • Training is guided by a digital instructor acting as a HSE Supervisor
  • Situations are demonstrated by a virtual crash test dummy
  • The participant is encouraged to point out faults if they see a hazard

It has two stages:

  • Complete pre-trip training stage
  • Guided desert driving instructor simulation
The Problem – Often Overlooked dangers OF IRRESPONSIBLE DRIVING

James Hardie, one of the world’s leading fiber cement companies, approached SHIIFT to develop a driver awareness tool that reinforced core safety behaviors for their 5,000-strong workforce. Launched as part of their Safety Week, the program needed to identify key risk factors for the driving workforce and create pathways towards prevention, risk minimization, and developing responsible driving practices.


The Solution

In response to the challenges of creating a non-assessed program within a broader safety campaign, SHIIFT developed an immersive in-vehicle VR experience that took participants on a piloted journey through research-identified scenarios associated with the most common driver awareness blind spots.

Through the implementation of these everyday scenarios the VR experience highlighted real-world situations where a lack of awareness led the participants towards an escalation of risk factors and ultimate vehicle collision. By incorporating a Confirmation of Understanding Statement the experience was not only an effective communication tool but met the requirements of a driver training program, with users needing to identify risks and take responsibility for adopting safer driving practices.

Features include:

  • 360 virtual reality sit down experience
  • Statement of understanding that the user agrees to at the end of each experience
  • 2 languages (English and Tagalog)
