Combining VR Technology and Human Factors Methods for Supporting Risk Analysis

This paper aims at providing the functional requirements and features specifications for supporting the performance of risk analysis work in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment. To ensure an application- oriented (i.e., considering the target industrial domain) and a human factors (HF) supported performance of the risk analysis work, a user-centered approach will be followed based on findings and field observation from the chemical process industrial domain as a target industry as well as a HF based methodology for risk analysis.
