Development of the walk-through Training Ground for Hyper-realistic Safety Education

This paper presents the design and implementation of a walk-through based immersive safety training environment for industrial applications. The proposed system enables trainees to physically move within an indoor training space while interacting with virtual safety scenarios through a Head-Mounted Display (HMD) and a full-body motion capture suit. A multi-camera optical tracking system is employed to estimate the trainee’s position using active markers and singular value decomposition (SVD), while an extended Kalman filter (EKF)-based approach is applied for full-body posture estimation. The integration of position tracking and posture tracking ensures spatial consistency between real-world movement and virtual environment interaction. The constructed 8m×6m training space demonstrates the feasibility of walk-through based immersive safety training applicable to industrial environments.
