Original Abstract

Musculoskeletal assessment of possible risks in the workplace of the future is difficult, because it is not possible to simply evaluate and predict the attitudes of workers. The virtual reality environment offers an initial insight into the future workplace. For better immersion in the environment. HTC Vive were selected. The ergonomic method selected for assessment is called RULA. Because of work in a virtual reality environment, it is necessary to measure in the real laboratory environment. As a reference device, the MS Kinect solution against occlusion has been selected. Measurements were performed in the laboratory according to a recently published article on RULA assessment using MS Kinect. The results show that HTC Vive can serve as an integral tool to assess a musculoskeletal risk in designing new workplaces.
