Content	0299 Edition 1/2010 617.0-IFA:610.1 Using virtual reality to prevent occupational accidents Problem Every year, some 51,000 accidents occur on sta- tionary machines and installations in trade and industry in Germany. Accident studies show that around a third of these accidents have technical causes. Conversely, many other accidents can be attributed to deficits in usability: ambiguities in the design of human-machine interfaces lead to maloperation; safeguards that obstruct the flow of work incite operators to defeat them. If these accidents on machinery are to be pre- vented, the usability of machines must be in- creased. This means that machines must be as user-friendly and intuitive to operate as possible. Were it possible for a universal, user-oriented operating and safety concept to be implemented whilst a machine is still at the development stage, maloperations, accidents and bypassing could be prevented. In order for this to be achieved, problems in the synergy of machines and human beings must first be identified, together with the measures and technical solutions for their elimination. Bringing human beings into contact with machines for development purposes must not mean exposing them to unnecessary hazards, however. The solu- tion lies in simulation techniques in a virtual, inter- active working environment: virtual reality (VR). In such an environment, human beings behave as they do in the real world, but work completely safely; a simulated reality is presented to them by means of clever optical techniques. Usability study of a collaborative robot in the VR laboratory Activities Virtual environments can be used in a number of areas, for example in pilot training or in architec- ture. Modern industrial design methods of this kind are already found in the automotive industry, for example: crash tests of vehicles are now largely simulated.
