Virtual Reality Serious Game Development
Description:
The main learning objective for this project is to understand the parts of a virus. This is accomplished through the core mechanics of building the virus in the game. The user is able to practice this over and over to build up their supply of virus ammo. Likewise, museum style learning content is posted for the user to view at their leisure within the virtual reality space. The secondary objective is to understand the clinical relevance of a virus when utilized to treat antibiotic resistant bacterial infections. This is accomplished through the second mechanic in the experience, shooting bacteria with their stockpile of virus amo. A shooting mechanic is very desirable to users and the whole game is scaffolded for them to reach this stage and “clear” the bacterial infection.
Audience: Science museum visitor
Software (Olivia’s Role): Unity, Visual Studios C#, VR Interaction Framework
Team Members: Olivia Dodds (Lead Programmer), Ryan Nini (Asset Creation and Programming), Natalie Krug (Asset Creation), Yilin Li (UI and Educational Mechanics)
