XR Safety Simulation
Facing convincing hazards before the risk is real.
Challenge
Conventional safety training depends on costly physical mockups and on-site supervision, yet workers can still feel unprepared when they first enter a real facility.
The design response
Decisions before deliverables.
Format followed the learning need, not the other way around.
- 01Choose experiential learning over lecture.
- 02Let trainees explore, identify hazards, and practise procedures in context.
- 03Ground realism in actual facility layouts and subject-matter-expert input.
- 04Build modular environments so scenarios can recombine.
What Olivier built
Design carried through production.
Portable mixed-reality prototype in Unity / C#
Meta Quest simulated facilities
Hazard-identification and emergency-evacuation drills
Interactive equipment, AI dialogue avatars, and spatial audio
SketchUp and Blender assets
Outcome
The prototype demonstrates how immersive training can reduce dependence on physical mockups and support off-site onboarding by tying instruction directly to action and spatial decision-making.
