Notice Title

2601 Psychology Hazard Perception VR App

Notice Description

Nottingham Trent University (NTU) are seeking to support their academics to create VR apps. Accordingly, we are seeking 4 outputs: (1) software that will allow our academics to combine 360 videos and still images, text slides, questions, and feedback into working VR apps, (2) an example app created using this software that is suitable for submission to the Meta Horizon store for Quest headsets, (3) an example app created via the software that can be uploaded to Pico headsets for face-to-face group training sessions, (4) a piece of control software that will allow headsets to be linked during f2f training sessions, such that all trainees watch the same videos at the same time on individual headsets. The content of the apps will related to driver safety assessment and training (e.g., hazard perception). NTU will provide all driving-related content for inclusion in outputs 2 and 3, however the overall software (outputs 1 and 4) should be content agnostic and accept different 360 video/still content for the creation of future apps (e.g., we may want to create a VR app that uses our 360-video to train paramedics in emergency situations, or train bar staff in conflict resolution situations, etc.).
