Abstract
This paper presents a novel way to predict radiation dose using immersive Virtual Reality (VR). The platform allows an assessment of proposed interventions in as much detail and time as required. Its purpose is to give users the maximum amount of agency while in the environment. Workers get a realistic experience practising jobs and supervisors can oversee the expected radiation doses for each intervention.
A proof of concept performed and showed the platform returned a comparable result to the real radiation exposure for a predefined route. The errors of the system are dependant on the dose map. With an accurate dose map, the system will produce reliable results.
