AXIS PROJECT WINS 1ST PEF 2025 PRIZE IN THE “DIGITAL AND NEW TOOLS” AREA

Il Training Excellence Award (PEF) is a prestigious initiative aimed at spreading good practices related to learning paths, and is promoted by AIF with the aim of valorizing and making known the most innovative experiences in the training field.

During the Award Ceremony which took place on June 26th in Turin, in the beautiful setting of Palazzo Madama, the Jury for the Digital Area and New Tools recognized in Piazza Copernico the 1nd Prize for the training project AXIS – Appraisal with eXperiential Immersive Simulation.

The award was presented by the President of AIF – Italian Trainers Association Beatrice Lomaglio to Daniela Pellegrini and Alice Antonello.

The AXIS Project

The project focused on active learning through Simulation reality, with the aim of studying the key factors of virtual reality (VR) experience in adult education.

In particular, for this virtual reality project, a simulation of intervention on fire prevention procedure, a very significant innovation in training dedicated to emergency interventions.

This technology has in fact allowed us to recreate complex environments and crisis situations in a way immersive e Interactive, allowing participants to have realistic experiences without the risk of a real fire.

The project is the result of collaboration between PIAZZA COPERNICO, Department of General Psychology, University of Padua e Txt Group.

Method and Purpose of the Project

Le Virtual reality fire simulations They represent innovative training tools, offering a safe and effective environment to develop skills.

The interaction It takes place through VR devices, in a sequence that includes both interactions that reflect knowledge (choice of fire extinguisher) and realistic interactions useful for training movements and actions for extinguishing a fire.

The system analyzes the crucial parameters in the use of the fire extinguisher, providing immediate feedback on the correctness of the actions, as well as a detailed report of the errors in the execution of the procedure.

The effectiveness of the method lies in its ability to bridge the gap between theory and practice, allowing participants to experience emergency scenarios in a realistic and repeatable way, increasing safety and preparedness.

The integration of virtual reality into fire drills, tested over time at various customers, has not only enriched the training experience, but also represents a step forward towards more effective emergency management.

Model Scalability

The model provided for the virtual reconstruction of internal and external environments, with the possibility of varying the environmental conditions.

The identification of the essential characteristics of an evaluable user experience was the basis for the definition of a simulation architecture reusable and scalable on different training contexts and contents, also promoting the sustainability in the age of technology (VR simulations reduce environmental impact by eliminating the need for consumables and physical simulations).

The results of the various experiments have demonstrated a greater involvement and a better one information retention Compared to traditional methods, VR training not only improves technical skills, but also promotes the development of decision-making skills in stressful situations.
