Description
Summary:This paper presents AVERT, a first-person simulator for general offshore workers that exposes them to a virtual environment similar to actual offshore sites and facilitates training in and assessment of spatial awareness, alarm recognition, and emergency response procedures. We follow the technical introduction with a case study showing the efficacy of AVERT by finding a correlation between trainee route selection and hazard exposure in a set of test scenarios.
