Road Safety Training with Virtual Reality

Road Safety Training with Virtual Reality

Traffic education with VR headsets at the AVS

In the week from March 20th to 24th, 2023, Ms. Strauzenberg and Ms. Hilse from the Fraunhofer Institute IVI Dresden were guests at the AVS to present the 6th year of the traffic prevention program “Safe with Grips”.(https://www.ivi.fraunhofer.de/content/dam/ivi/de/dokumente/flyer/FAPS_Maerz_2022-web.pdf).

With the help of VR headsets, our students were able to experience typical dangerous situations on their way to school and also take on the perspective of other road users!

We would like to thank Ms. Strauzenberg and Ms. Hilse for the implementation of the great program as well as our support association, which made the realization of this innovative prevention program for the students of the AVS possible with its financial support!
