SafeScaff Training Environment

This is a learning platform aimed towards construction workers for making safe scaffolding.

The users have the task of building a scaffolding structure while performing all safety measures. This includes wearing all the necessary safety equipment, constructing the scaffolding in the correct order, securing all scaffolding pieces so that they don't move.

The whole process and the users actions are recorded. They are used afterwards to determine if the user did everything correctly or what mistakes were made. That allows for a deeper learning process that helps users to learn faster and safer.

This project supports both singleplayer and multiplayer modes.

The features and main idea of the application is shown in the video below.

Below is a video showing the main tools used and main functionality.

Role and tasks in project

This project was made by a team of 4. My tasks are as follows:

• Developer

  • Safety rope/carabine mechanics

    • Rope dynamics and movement

    • Carabine attachment to scaffolding parts

    • Player movement limiting by rope length

    • Carabine animations and sounds

  • Scaffolding part securing mechanic

    • Security pegs must be struck by hammer to secure the scaffolding part;

  • Forklift mechanics

    • A forklift object for moving scaffolding parts to the player when they are up on the scaffolding atleast on floor 2. 

    • Forklift movement to player position

    • Player can select which scaffolding parts they need

    • The forklift lifts the selected parts to whichever floor the player is on

  • A tablet object

    • 3D object to which a UI Canvas is attached

    • Provides in-game menu for various functionalities, such as, viewing grading information and accessing forklift controls.

• Artist

  • Scaffolding parts modeling and optimization from CAD models

    • Moveable pegs on each end on necessary parts for the securing mechanic

  • Some parts of the environment

  • Most safety equipment (safety harness, high visibility vest and others)

  • Texturing created models

• Other

  • UI for main menu, in-game menu and UI keyboard

  • Some AI for construction workers in main menu

  • Animation of main menu UI 'entry' by a crane in the main menu scene
