WHMIS 2015 VR
Maya . Unity | Developed for Valve Index, HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift | This project was finalized in January 2022
I am excited to share with you my recent virtual reality project named “WHMIS 2015 VR”. This is a VR training app that teaches users how to handle hazardous products and their accidents in various workplaces. The app covers topics such as corrosive, flammable, explosive, and toxic substances, and how to deal with fire, body spill, and eye spill scenarios. The app is designed for workers in different settings such as a school lab, a construction site, and warehouses.
The app was developed using Maya 3D software and Unity game engine. I was part of a team of talented developer and artists who worked on this project. My role was a 3D artist and I was responsible for tasks such as modeling, lighting, texturing, optimizing, animating and dynamic in this project. I enjoyed creating realistic and immersive environments and objects for the app.
This project was done in collaboration with Abraham M. Hashemian, extended reality researcher, content creator, entrepreneur and my employer. The app is based on the official WHMIS 2015 guidelines and regulations, and it aims to increase awareness and compliance among workers.
I hope you will give it a try and let me know what you think. The app is currently available for download on Steam.

In this app, a robot named Glitch is responsible for doing some tasks, such as bringing containers of chemical substances that may be hazardous. The model of this robot was created in Maya and then for its textures, Substance 3D Painter was used.
