Overview
Shown in the video starting @ 0:10, "Scaffold Training" is a comprehensive VR training simulator for ExxonMobil used to train workers in proper safety procedures when working at heights. Deployed on Meta Quest 1 & 2, the simulation provides realistic scenarios and safety protocol training in a risk-free virtual environment.
Key Features
- ▹Randomly-generated scaffold
- ▹Interactive safety equipment and fall protection systems
- ▹Step-by-step safety procedure training
- ▹Quest 1 & 2 standalone VR deployment
- ▹Hazard identification and response training
- ▹Performance evaluation and certification tracking

Challenges & Solutions
My role was optimization, porting from windows standalone (pc + vive pro)to Quest 2 and adding the carabiner clip-off feature. We had to make major compromises to get the simulator to work on quest 2, including disabling real-time lighting, baking the world background into a single mesh and material using google seurat, simplifying shaders (simple lit over lit, requiring texture repacking).
