Ergonom.io: A Virtual Reality tool for Ergonomic Assessment of Industrial Workplaces

Ergonomics is an essential aspect of industrial design, as it can affect the safety, health, and productivity of workers. However, it can be challenging to assess and optimize ergonomic indicators during the design phase or during the improvement of current work settings. Traditional approaches rely on manual observations and feedback from operators, which can be time-consuming, subjective, and limited in scope. Virtual reality (VR) simulations offer a promising alternative, as they allow designers to visualize and test different workplace configurations in a controlled and immersive environment. In this paper, we present a tool that combines VR simulations with motion capture technology to generate real-time ergonomic indicators.
