Metaphora designs XR platforms for safety training: measurable, repeatable, adaptive. Between Italy and India, with cinema-grade realism and an AI layer that reads behavior.
Safety competence is built in conditions that classrooms cannot reproduce.
Many operational skills only emerge under real pressure — and passive, transmissive formats never create it.
Fires, confined spaces, electrical faults: the situations that matter most are difficult or expensive to replicate frequently.
Attendance and quizzes say little about real-world behavior. Verification over time is rarely measurable.
XR is already established in high-criticality sectors: healthcare and surgery, industrial and enterprise training.

Two XR platforms for safety training, sharing the same AI behavior dashboard. Developed in Unreal Engine, with scenarios designed together with HSE consultants.
The XR platform for workplace safety training. Training linked to Italian Legislative Decree 81/08: PPE, working at height, CPR, electrical and chemical risk, machinery and operational procedures. Measurable, repeatable, adaptive.
Fire training in virtual reality. Extinguisher use, evacuation, confined spaces, fire-system maintenance — developed with fire-prevention consultants and validated in specialist settings.
Across Europe, regulators are recognizing immersive technologies in professional safety training — France funds VR as a valid methodology, the UK's HSE is adapting its framework, Germany's IFA supports XR pilot programs.
Italian Law 34/2026 rewrote paragraph 5 of Article 37 of Legislative Decree 81/2008, explicitly introducing the possibility of using simulation technologies in real or virtual environments for practical training — the first time a European regulation explicitly integrates virtual reality into the legislative framework for workplace safety.
Alongside our platforms, we develop tailor-made XR products, digital twins of plants and cultural sites, and consulting on applied artificial intelligence and extended reality.
Training modules and immersive experiences built on your facility, your procedures, your risks.
Faithful 3D replicas of industrial facilities and heritage sites, ready for simulation, training and storytelling.
From innovation management to funded projects: we support companies adopting AI and XR in production.

The industrial partner driving commercial growth and industry synergies.

Official partners: workstations, headsets and joint development of immersive experiences.

Selected for the AI & data science startup acceleration program.

A team between Italy and India: design, HSE expertise and AI on one side, Unreal Engine development on the other.






Every XR training session generates structured behavioral data. The same data that teaches people to work safely can, tomorrow, teach robots to do the same. This is our long-term direction.
