Present progress in the production of high quality products requires motivated and competent operators who are well trained. VIRTHUALIS technology will help companies to meet the SEVESO II Directive through better training and hazards identification and assessment. 

The wide ranging scenarios that can be simulated throughout plant lifecycle (from design to decommissioning) will enhance significantly  the skills and competencies of all stakeholders both inside and outside the company. VIRTHUALIS technology will help them train their staff much more easily, thus improving safety globally and strengthening the position of these companies in the world market. 

By bringing Human Factors knowledge in technological developments, as those stemming from VR skills, and applying the results in current industrial processes, VIRTHUALIS will assist in structuring the relevant European  Research Area (ERA) providing the backbone knowledge in the field of this new technology.

Following the fact that there seems to be an international tendency of applying VR in several safety related scenarios, VIRTHUALIS can serve as the first brick on building and structuring the relevant Research Area in Europe.

The VIRTHUALIS technology will also have a strong impact on the European education and learning system, since the insights gained in one area of application of the technology can be transferred to another application area. In other words VIRTHUALIS technology will foster the transmission of valuable knowledge amongst different European industries and academic institutions.
