TWI is pleased to announce that key elements of the IUK-funded SafeXtend project will be featured at the upcoming UK Construction week at NEC Birmingham, as part of TWI’s commitment to address the urgent need for scalable, skills-targeted training solutions in the construction industry, through an innovative AI-powered virtual platform.
About SafeXtend
This project aims to develop an immersive virtual reality (VR) training platform powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to help address challenges related to worker safety, skills shortages, and rising training costs. The platform will utilise project-specific, realistic 3D modelling of sites and specialised scenarios tailored to the construction sector.
A variety of health and safety, equipment operation, and job-specific training scenarios will be developed. AI techniques such as computer vision and natural language processing will be incorporated to provide individualised feedback to workers on their performance.
