Immensive SA collaborated with the Touring Club Suisse (TCS) and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) to develop an innovative virtual reality (VR) training program focused on road safety for children. This project, spearheaded by Nolan Chappuis, aimed to create realistic VR scenarios where children could practice safe road behaviors. By placing users in immersive 3D environments, the program simulated key road safety situations and monitored user reactions to predefined events. This data-driven approach allowed for the analysis and comparison of user behaviors to improve road safety education.

What are the advantages

1. Innovative Learning Experience: Utilizing VR technology, the project provides an engaging and immersive way for children to learn essential road safety skills, making the training more effective and memorable.
2. Data-Driven Insights: The system automatically tracks user behavior, providing valuable data that can be analyzed to identify common mistakes and areas for improvement, thereby enhancing overall safety training.
3. Collaborative Excellence: Combining the expertise of TCS, EPFL, and Immensive, the project leveraged cutting-edge technology and academic research to develop a robust and impactful solution.
4. Recognition and Impact: The project was recognized with the FIA Region I Innovation Award, highlighting its potential to significantly improve road safety education for children worldwide.
5. Scalability and Adaptability: The VR training program can be adapted for different age groups and extended to other aspects of road safety, ensuring wide applicability and long-term benefits.

This innovative collaboration underscores Immensive’s commitment to using advanced technology to create impactful solutions that address real-world challenges.
