Abstract
The scope of the project covers the development of a method for assessment of risk related to machinery, based on the computer-aided virtual reality technique. The investigations started with the formulation of the matrix of correspondence between the hazards and functions performed by the VR using document-based inspection method based on documentation of the 3 machines. Further investigations have been conducted by Expert Inspection method using virtual models of 3 machines. It was proved that the immersive projection technology were highly usable in the assessment of risk involved by mechanical hazards and arriving at more accurate results necessary for machine assessment in view of ergonomic then the HDM techniques. In further research the usability of the developed method will be investigated using the User Testing method.
