VR LaboSafe Game is a serious game that utilises immersive virtual reality to train the safety awareness and safety behaviour in chemical laboratories. In this game, laboratory workers learn to accurately identify risks, minimise these risks and perform experiments safely. Unsafe behaviour and unresolved risks result in simulated consequences that trainees experience without real harm to themselves or others. Try it out yourself! There is a demo version available for the Oculus Quest 2 on this GitHub repository: https://github.com/PhilippeChan/VRLaboSafeGameDemo

In this episode we talk with Michael Dumin, an early-stage researcher at the Department of Chemical Engineering (CIT) at KU Leuven, Belgium. As part of the CHARMING Project, his topic is “Chemistry and chemical-engineering concepts for kids”. He is exploring how fundamental chemical principles are translated into intuitive activities, so that children can learn basic concepts in a playful approach.

The use of immersive technologies for training in the chemical industry is growing.
One organisation which has began to develop and implement their own VR and AR training solutions is ACTA.
ACTA is a training and education center for the chemical industry in Flanders, Belgium, in the domain of chemical process techniques, process control technology and safety.
In this episode, we spoke with Sarah Pascal who focuses on digital learning in the organisation. Sarah provides details of the applications ACTA is developing and also offers valuable advice for any organisation looking to implement similar training solutions.

In this episode of the podcast we delve into the work of co-host Jessi, who is exploring the research question: Can Augmented Reality help students understand abstract concepts? Jessi shares details about an AR application which she recently published on the Google Playstore - Science On TV.
Tim and Jessi also discuss:
- The SAMR Model, a theoretical framework, which can be used to categories different degrees of educational technology integration
- Nanome. A VR application which is being used by scientists, researchers and pharmaceutical developers www.nanome.ai

Can science & technology education be revolutionized with immersive technologies? Can this revolution be expanded to motivate and train children, students and employees in chemistry and chemical engineering? It may sound crazy but fortunately, the European Training Network for Chemical Engineering Immersive Learning, or CHARMING for short, is taking on these challenges by bringing together specialists from chemical engineering, educational sciences, game design, and technology. In this episode, Tom van Gerven joined us to introduce the CHARMING project and the partners involved. In addition to coordinating the project, Tom is a Professor at KU Leuven in the Process Engineering for Sustainable Systems Group.
