Seo, Hyun Jeong; Park, Gyu Mi; Son, Minjie; Hong, Ah-Jeong – Education Sciences, 2021
The current safety education and training system has a number of problems, namely that the actual risks in the field are not reflected and that workers cannot be engaged in safety education. Therefore, we conducted a study to build a VR-based safety education system that reflects the problems actually occurring in the field. The risk points of the…
