Recherche stagiaire "Développement d’un environnement de réalité virtuelle pour la formation aux risques chimiques "

Nous recrutement à partir de février 2024 un stagiaire de M2 ou PFE pour le développement d’un environnement de réalité virtuelle pour la formation aux risques chimiques, dans le cadre du projet ANR RENFORCE. L’objectif de ce stage/PFE orienté « développement » est de contribuer au développement de cet environnement en laboratoire de chimie, en intégrant un scénario construit lors du premier semestre 2023, en collaboration avec les différents acteurs du projet répartis sur les deux sites Lyon / Saint Etienne.
