# Simulation Construction Sites This Construction Simulation Uses a 360-Degree Training Dome By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-06-25 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/construction-simulation References: [niea.unsw.edu.au](http://www.niea.unsw.edu.au/research/projects/construction-safety-virtual-reality-training-brookfield-multiplex) Since the risk of fatalities and injuries are extremely high in the construction industry, the iCinema Centre is making use of virtual reality tools as a means to improve the wellness of people working on a potentially hazardous site. The simulator is described as a "sophisticated, immersive computer game" that replicates construction environments and training scenarios that can be presented in an immersive 180-degree individual session or a 360-degree theater format for groups. Advanced Visualisation and Interaction Environment known (AVIE) makes it possible for people to begin to spot dangerous situations in a safe environment. Reflexes and decision-making are strengthened since the system allows for object manipulation and interaction with the system's artificial intelligence units. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Virtual Reality Training:** Using virtual reality tools to improve safety and wellness in hazardous industries like construction. - **Immersive Simulation:** Creating sophisticated, immersive computer game simulations to replicate real-world environments and training scenarios. - **Interactive Artificial Intelligence:** Enhancing reflexes and decision-making through object manipulation and interaction with the system's artificial intelligence units. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Construction Industry:** Implementing virtual reality training to minimize the risk of fatalities and injuries on construction sites. - **Training and Education:** Utilizing immersive simulations to enhance training and education in high-risk industries. - **Gaming and Entertainment:** Leveraging interactive artificial intelligence to create engaging gaming and entertainment experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Virtual Skill Simulators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wiseworld.md) - [Spatial Computing-Powered Training Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/injection-simulator.md) - [Virtual Medical Training Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elara.md) - [Smart Safety Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smarthat.md) - [3D-Rendering VR Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prospect-irisvr.md) - [Robot Simulation Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luckyrobots.md) - [VR Home Design Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/envisioneer.md) - [Virtual Reality Medical Training](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simx.md) - [Digital Professional VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-vr-headset.md)
