Abstract

Using Virtual Reality (VR) could allow for a more structured and comprehensive risk assessment (RA) of machines and equipment at an early stage of the machine development process (design phase). Before developing a new method for VR-based RA, it is, however, necessary to first determine if VR is feasible and useful in carrying out risk assessments.
For this purpose we initiated two user studies. In the first study, a column type drilling machine was investigated to evaluate the general usability of VR for RA. In the second study, the modality of information transfer was investigated. A conventional form of safety instruction (SI) was compared with a VR-SI. The results
showed that the VR-RA is generally feasible, so we started to develop a VR-RA method. This paper presents the implementation and results of the two studies, the current status of the VR-RA method and the next steps to be taken.
