Serious Game and awareness of HSE policy
“Destination Proxima Thalesio“ is the Serious Game Thales group has devised and developed with Serious Factory’s authoring software to educate their employees on the HSE policy. As regulations and guidelines for waste treatment are constantly evolving, Thales has developed a Serious Game to educate and train its employees. This Serious Game is based on the WEEE directive relating to Waste treatment obligations for Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) as part of the energy transition law. In order to raise awareness about end-of-life waste management, Thales has recreated a realistic immersive universe on a fictional planet where the aim is to avoid reproducing the errors made on planet Earth, which has become too polluted and uninhabitable.
Thanks to the “fun” elements and support of virtual coaches living on the planet in need of protection, learners receive messages and become agents of change in accordance with the Group’s proactive policy on environmental protection issues.
Winner of the 1st ever VTS JAM competition
For the launch of “Le Village by Serious Factory” Serious Factory’s community platform, Serious Factory organised a first competition at the beginning of the year, VTS Jam. Using the authoring software VTS Editor, candidates had a month to create a 3D simulation with the theme of their choice. Thales’ Data & Technical Lab team, composed of Marc-Henri Marius, Julie Devaux and Samuel Formez, brilliantly won this competition with the futuristic and immersive Serious Game on waste treatment at the end of life.
Marc-Henri Marius, Digital Learning Manager, shares his design experience with VTS Editor just below:
“Thanks to this software, we were able to deal with complex awareness topics such as end-of-life waste treatment of electric or electronic type equipment in an efficient and fun way. The tool allowed us to easily create a personalized graphic universe and an original script to communicate on strategic topics for the Thales group such as recycling, maintenance and repackaging.”
