This section provides guidance on the size of the room that is required and information regarding the equipment that needs to be set up in the room.

Measurements

In order to allow for an effective training experience in the chosen room, it first has to fulfill certain requirements regarding its size. We recommend a room is used which measures 5 m x 5 m (16.4 ft. x 16.4 ft.). This size is necessary to ensure a virtual reality play area of 3 m x 3 m (10 ft. x 10 ft.) plus a 1 m (3.2 ft.) safety distance to the boundaries of the room on each side of the play area. The additional space is needed to store the equipment.

Furniture

The following items will need to be made available in the room to allow for a successful installation of this equipment.

  • A standard desk measuring at least 120 cm x 80 cm (3.9 ft. x 2.6 ft.) for the Cleanroom Simulator workstation

  • A locker measuring 110 cm x 104 cm x 42 cm (3.6 ft. x 3.4 ft. x 1.4 ft.) (w x h x d) to store the virtual reality equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

The Simulator system requires a minimum area of 5 m x 5 m (16.4 ft x 16.4 ft). This allows for a virtual reality play area that measures 3 m x 3 m (10 ft x 10 ft) and an additional 1 m (3.2 ft) safety area on all sides.

Improper Setup

A training area clear of all obstacles is required. In particular, the following factors should be taken into consideration when choosing a room. These should all be avoided as they can have a negative and potentially dangerous impact on the training experience.

  • Reflecting surfaces – can negatively impact the tracking used by the virtual reality hardware which can create an unstable visual experience for the trainee.

  • Slippery carpets or floors – could cause the trainee to fall over and injure themselves.

  • Disruptive cable routing – should be routed around the edges of the room and not into the centre of the room where the Virtual Reality trainee could fall over them.

  • Equipment or furniture inside the training area – can block the trainees path and negatively impact on the training session. It could also cause the trainee to fall and injure themselves.

Disclaimer:
Please note, that motion sensors or other high frequency emitting devices might interfere with the VR setup.
