“…The major reason to support both locomotion mechanisms was that, as noticed in the usability tests, motion sickness was less frequent in discrete locomotion, but it is not a natural or familiar way to move on virtual scenarios, so that many users prefer continuous locomotion. All these findings about the locomotion mechanisms are available on Tanaka et al (2020).…”

“…To evaluate the development of the simulator, some usability tests were conducted, especially to verify the locomotion. The major results can be found in Tanaka et al (2020). Also, reviews with electricians, instructors and safety specialists have been conducted during the development of the simulator to validate the step-by-step of the exercises, the required PPE and CPE in the exercises and the equipment in the electric power distribution network present in the virtual scenario.…”

“…With this in mind, user tests were carried out with 21 volunteers throughout the project to evaluate different methods of locomotion in VR. Detailed results are available in a previous paper (Tanaka, et al, 2020). In short, from these user tests, it was decided to adopt locomotion mechanisms: continuous locomotion with reduced field of view and discrete locomotion, also known as teleportation.…”

This paper presents the development of a multi-user, collaborative virtual reality environment for training electricians to work on the electric power distribution network. Typically, traditional trainings in this field have lots of constraints and don’t allow learners to experience a wide set of different equipment that is installed in the network nor bad weather conditions and the different risk analysis that should be performed. With the proposed virtual reality environment, learners will be able to practice several realistic conditions without risking themselves.

Formal education and corporate trainings have adopted immersive virtual reality environments for a while. These environments are great tools to represent real world situations, conditions and scenarios that may be dangerous or not easily reproducible on classrooms, laboratories or formal trainings. That is exactly the case of the electric power distribution network in Brazil, as the electricians take formal trainings but usually do not experience the real conditions of the network and the several risks involved with it during these trainings. As a result, the electricians may not be confident to work on the network and may eventually harm themselves or take longer than expected to find and fix problems on the network. Thus, this paper presents the development of a virtual reality environment for training electricians to work on the distributed network, considering the safety procedures, the proper usage of equipment and the collaboration with other electricians. With the proposed environment, it is expected to enhance the knowledge and the skills of the electricians and, therefore, have better professionals working on the distribution network.
