Abstract

Technological advances are rapidly impacting the industrial sector, transforming the way learning and training are conducted. This study investigates and compares the effectiveness of immersive training using ugmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in industrial environments regarding occupational risks, aiming to evaluate how these technological and digital tools can contribute quickly to the safety, ualification and training of workers. The methodology included an analysis of recent studies and literature in the comparison between traditional and immersive methods. The results indicated that the adoption of AR and VR has the potential and significantly improved the way the brain absorbs information, greater detailing of occupational safety standards and consequent reduction in the number of accidents. Thus, it is concluded that technological and digital approaches offer advantages and benefits in preparing the workforce compared to traditional training methods to face occupational risk situations, although the implementation costs are still expensive.
