Abstract
In this study we present an immersive virtual reality simulator for the training of tower cranes operators reducing the costs and risks. The interactive visual simulation integrates real-time 3D computer graphics with other modalities, such as stereoscopic head-mounted display (HMD), user pose tracking, joystick remote controller, and physics behaviour, to create a realistic simulation scenario to the user.
