XPOTLESS: Get to know the #OC2

Proposal Acronym: XPOTLESS

Proposal Title: XR experience for Training cleaning and disinfection Safety practices in the agrifood sector

Proposal Summary:

XPOTLESS is a project developing an immersive VR training system for the agrifood sector, focusing on safe and sustainable cleaning and disinfection procedures. This system provides a personalized, adaptive learning experience, allowing operators to practice critical tasks in a risk-free virtual environment, improving compliance with food safety regulations and optimizing resource use.

Key Objectives:

  • Immersive Training: Simulate real-life cleaning tasks, including handling hazardous chemicals and operating machinery, in a safe virtual setting.
  • Emotion-Based Adaptation: Use emotion recognition (analyzing voice and posture) to detect stress or frustration and adjust the training in real-time for personalized support.
  • Adaptive Learning Process: Implement Flow Theory to dynamically adjust task difficulty based on the operator’s performance, ensuring engagement and skill progression.

How It Works:

  • Simulated Workday: Users follow a narrative mimicking a typical workday in a meat processing environment, progressing through preparation, task execution, and final evaluation.
  • Real-Time Adjustment: Emotional monitoring adapts the training pace and complexity, ensuring operators receive appropriate support to enhance learning outcomes.
  • Interactive Tools: A hand detection system enables intuitive manipulation of 3D objects, providing a realistic and engaging training experience.

Impact & Benefits:

  • Enhanced Safety & Compliance: Provides a risk-free environment for mastering complex cleaning processes while adhering to EU hygiene standards.
  • Personalized Skill Development: Adapts to individual emotions and progress, optimizing learning efficiency and reducing stress.
  • Industrial Adaptability: Supports the digitization of the food processing sector and upskills workers to meet evolving industry demands.
