Abstract
In this demo we present an immersive virtual reality (VR) simulator to measure risk perception in realistic working environments. It provides the ideal environment to expose people to danger with no chances to cause them any harm. However, whereas in the physical work environment workers have to perform their jobs (primary task) and be safe (secondary task), in a VR simulator they still have to deal with an additional source of cognitive load: the user interface.
