Summary:

Animated 3D training software is an innovative tool describing the dismantling process step by step for 50 most common electrical appliances. The tool is intended for two groups of WEEE reuse and recycling industry workers: low skilled workers (including non-native, disabled or marginalized workers) and corporate management personnel. Using a combination of a popular game engine (Unity3D), C# and JavaScript code, and external calls to web services, 3D representations of the WEEEs and their parts become manageable through a WEB 3D CMS. All the information that is connected to the 3D Objects is dynamically set by content authors. Multilingualism is another key feature of the platform. There is a tool to easily translate all the content of the application to the preferred language online. This technology will produce Virtual Scenarios with a crucial advantage: a ‘content author' will be able to modify or replicate them, create new scenarios, combine knowledge from existing one, present differences between the same type of devices, model their parts and materials with the help of ontology on WEEE. The tool will be available from the Internet in seven languages (English, German, French, Czech, Greek, Romanian and Slovenian) and the basic version will be free of charge.
