Samenvatting

As Strukton Rail faces absence under employees that work on railroad construction sites, a change must be made. Part of this absence is caused by occupational accidents. With modern-day technology, Strukton Rail would like to explore the possibilities of a virtual reality training simulator to increase risk awareness among their employees with regard to working at heights. Such increased awareness could lead to less incidents and a subsequent decrease in employee absenteeism.
In this paper, a closer look is taken at which visual style would suit a virtual reality training simulator. Specifically, the research explores how the visual style can enhance the learning objectives that Strukton would like to achieve. User tests and questionnaires are used to explore the extent in which the visual style enhances learning objectives.
