Draft:Cineon Training

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Cineon Training is a technology and training organization focused on developing immersive training experiences utilizing virtual reality (VR) technology. Established in 2016 through a collaboration between consultants from the nuclear industry, Toby de Burgh and Kate Sprake, alongside Dr Sam Vine[1] from the University of Exeter, the initiative was aimed at enhancing worker performance and safety in high-risk sectors. Recognizing the need for more effective human performance training in high-risk sectors, the initiative received funding from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)[2]. This funding facilitated the development of contemporary immersive training scenarios utilizing VR and cutting-edge techniques to improve critical performance principles.

Approach and Methodology[edit]

Cineon Training employs an evidence-based approach to producing training content, departing from traditional techniques prevalent in high-risk industries[3]. The organization emphasizes current research to create immersive scenarios, providing a unique and effective training experience. By utilizing architects' designs or blueprints, Cineon Training replicates real-world working environments to gather data on trainees' situational judgments, gaze, and heart rate.[4] This data aids in understanding how individuals learn and react in dangerous settings, particularly under high-stress environments.

Projects and Collaborations[edit]

Since its inception, Cineon Training has collaborated with various industries, including nuclear decommissioning, the military, and Formula One. The organization is actively engaged in projects aimed at improving safety in European oil refineries and developing operator training at Sellafield in collaboration with Innovate UK.[3]

Recognition and Awards[edit]

Cineon Training has received recognition for its innovative work within the industry. The organization was a recipient of the NDA Supply Chain Award, acknowledging its contribution to aiding the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) in cleaning up nuclear sites across the United Kingdom.[5]

Contributions to Safety-Critical Industries[edit]

The organization's work, highlighted in articles and workshops, demonstrates its dedication to using VR technology and scientific methodologies to improve safety and performance in safety-critical industries such as healthcare, aviation, the military, and nuclear power.[6]
