Pharmacy technicians frequently gather data from different sources and apply formulas to ensure accurate medication dosages. This design concept teaches trainees how to obtain information from medication bottles and a patient's file to calculate the correct medication dosage.
This design teaches trainees how measured values in their physical environment relate to mathematical formulas for accurately calculating cut dimensions. Users measure dimensions to create virtual tablets which are then placed formulas on a virtual whiteboard. The resulting measurements are then applied back in the physical space to let the trainee mark off the correct cut dimension.
Animated diagrams help explain spatial concepts by adding a layer of information with over real-world objects used in pipefitting.
Measuring mechanics to teach the proper technique to obtain a value which can then be used in formulas.
Dimension tablets and formulas allow users to interacts with measurements, creating a connection between where numbers are found and used in the real world.
Immediate feedback is provided to users when they press the equals button in an equation they have completed to assess the student's knowledge.
VR facilitates the learning of abstract concepts. Overlaying diagrams and contextual information creates a direct spatial connection between conceptual information and its real-world application.
Physical interactions can aid in forming learning connections. The physical act of creating a dimension value through accurate measurement and placing it in the proper place in the proper location of a formula reinforces the steps of a real-world mathematical process.
VR training can extend beyond direct simulations. Our past training simulations demonstrated VR's efficacy in teaching procedures that mirror real-world scenarios. VR allows students to experience features that are not possible in real life to augment the learning experience.
