Virtual reality lab training

This project aims to create Virtual Reality interventions for cost-effective training of very specific tasks and skills. The simulations have been developed to resemble the lab environment as closely as possible, allowing for training of staff even before they enter the lab, providing them with safety training, as well as other typical tasks that can be asked of the employees afterwards in real life.

This project is a collaboration between the Virtual Learning Lab and the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability.
