Virtual Reality

A Texas A&M researcher is studying whether immersive jobsite simulations can help prevent workers from becoming desensitized to jobsite hazards.

Early findings suggest that construction science students learned as much from a virtual tour as from an in-person site visit.

Pilot study finds immersive VR experience can significantly lower fear of death and spark deeper life reflection.

Ryan Ahn is developing a research-based, virtual reality training environment that doesn’t expose workers to real-life risk.

Assistant Professor Manish Dixit is learning how humans can best be trained to work on the moon, Mars or extreme environments on Earth.

Construction science professor Ryan Ahn is heading a National Science Foundation-funded study to create virtual reality training to aid worker safety.

Thick, sometimes confusing assembly manuals could be replaced with a version of an augmented reality assembly app developed by Wei Yan.

How can workers be trained for workplaces that will be in deep space with low- and no-gravity environments in a safe, cost-effective manner?
