Abstract

This paper discusses the issues of eye protection against harmful laser radiation and provides an example of the use of virtual reality (VR) technology for laser safety training. A newly developed VR application dedicated to the selection of protective eyewear in the context of identified real-life threats caused by harmful high-energy optical radiation is presented. The VR application for selecting protective eyewear to operate different types of lasers presented in this paper demonstrates how VR technology can be used to better illustrate the issues involved in assessing eye risks from laser radiation. The application was developed in the Unity 3D environment based on a scenario developed by the authors.
