Description
A series of interactive VR experiences designed to teach users first aid topics, offered to the general public as fully certified and thorough first aid training content as an alternative to face-to-face training.
For each topic, the users were first taught the theory of the first aid (including zoomed-in anatomy), then got to practise the first aid skills, and finally were teleported into a realistic emergency scenario where they had to apply what they had learnt. A cheerful robotic character Mia guides the user along their first aid journey.
Utilised the HTC Vive Pro headset with the LeapMotion for hand tracking. Developed cross-platform for mobile release onto Android and iOS. CPR topic included physical CPR dummy with custom sensors and Arduino boards to measure CPR proficiency (speed and depth).
