I am seeking to establish a partnership for an innovative project to enhance students' training in food laboratories using virtual reality (VR) technology. This initiative aims to safely and effectively educate students about handling hazardous chemicals and pathogens.

Objective: The primary goal is to create immersive VR training modules that simulate real-life laboratory environments. This technology will allow students to gain practical experience in dealing with dangerous substances and sophisticated equipment without the associated risks.

Seeking Partnerships: We are looking for partners skilled in VR technology development to assist in creating authentic VR environments. Additionally, we aim to collaborate with experts who can help design realistic and educational scenarios for these VR modules.

Role of Prof. Dr. Zayde Ayvaz: With my background in food science, seafood processing technology, and expertise in computer-based image analysis for food quality determination, I am well-positioned to contribute significantly to developing content and educational aspects of the VR training modules.

Invitation for Collaboration: We invite interested parties to join us in this cutting-edge project, which promises to revolutionize how students are trained in food safety and laboratory practices.
