ViRTI

The ViRTI project arises from the need to improve the educational environment and expand the training offer for inmates, who generally have limited access to technical facilities because they are in a closed and restricted environment.

Thus, ViRTI aims to use virtual reality technologies by creating virtual environments, compensating for the scarcity of resources (such as laboratories, materials and tools) in prison facilities.

In addition, by introducing interactive and gamification features in the learning contents provided to inmates, it will be possible to attract more participants and maintain their motivation, thus reducing drop-out rates.

With this project, it will be possible to increasingly encourage the application of content based on virtual reality in prisons, which will collaborate with education and training providers for this purpose. In this way, more inmates will benefit from this added value, as they will develop skills and competences, and acquire knowledge about sectors of the economy where there is a scarce workforce, hence increasing their employability.
