Safety is of the utmost importance across many vertical markets. For instance, the energy industry is increasingly turning to simulation technology for safety training. As one example, Attensi created a solution for energy firm Equinor that is a mobile game-based safety simulator training program. For Equinor, “Always Safe” is an initiative for its workforce of 21,000 employees in 30 countries. The 3D simulation, along with learning modules, is meant to teach workers safety best practices by challenging them to do gamified scenarios. Nearly nine out of 10 employees say the simulation are highly accurate to their day-to-day operations. Here is…
