Laboratory Safety at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad

Virtual Reality System for Laboratory Safety at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad

The presence of hazards and constraints in laboratory environments often makes laboratory experiences risky. Virtual reality (VR) technology offers an effective solution by simulating laboratory environments and reducing risks. With VR, it is possible to create simulated environments at a lower cost, allowing users to experience expensive or hazardous operations in a safe space. This system enables users to select from various scenarios and use control handles to react to simulated incidents in the chemistry lab. The system is accessible to students and professors, allowing them to engage in a safe and interactive experience of lab experiments.

Simulated Scenarios and Operations for Laboratory Safety:

•  Fire extinguishing techniques
•  Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
•  Safety precautions for handling chemicals
