Safety first

The client asked us to develop a VR house safety app that would let users navigate through a modeled 3D environment in which they were to undertake various actions aimed at familiarizing themselves with the basic safety rules concerning the use of domestic heating devices.

Process and project scope
22_01

An engaging approach to very serious matters

Collaboration

The client wanted the application to sport some comic graphics. The idea was to teach good safety practice through entertainment. That is why realistic, serious graphics were not needed.

We discussed the space in which the player was to move and the potential dangers that would appear in the environment. Once we obtained that information, we were ready to start development in the spirit of Scrum.

Process

The client needed to build a software application that would be able to draw the users’ attention to the problem of harmful chemicals present in our houses, which can greatly affect our mood and, in extreme cases, even put our lives in jeopardy.

We were commissioned to programme the VR house safety app that would, in a possibly clear way, indicate the important devices in our apartments that can have a negative impact on our life unless they are properly used. Furthermore, we created a visualization of dangerous symptoms we can observe during the improper operation of domestic devices, which we should never ignore.

Scope

We have designed and implemented a software application that enables the user to move freely through a modeled environment of a house, look around and take appropriate action in case of an emergency. The environment does not contain photorealistic graphics, but it is pleasing to the eye and does not distract the user from the essential elements.

In addition, it makes it possible, especially in the case of younger users, to experience some exciting, and at the same time educationally valuable, fun (but not of the kind we know all too well from survival horror stories). The main purpose of the VR house safety app is to encourage users to actively participate in education for safety.

Business value

Positive corporate image combined with the ultimate social usefulness

The VR house safety app we created allowed the client to build a positive image of the organization, while drawing people’s attention to problems that we often do not fully realize. It teaches us a proper response to threats through a fun and engaging experience.

The main areas in which the app excels include:

  • Getting to know the potential dangers of heating devices installed in our homes.

  • Taking appropriate actions in emergency situations.

  • Navigating through an interactive space, with clearly named and illustrated hazardous situations and suspicious symptoms, together with the possible solutions to them.

An immersive VR experience and a real eye-opener combined

The VR house safety app was developed using Unity 3D, whereas the graphics and visuals were created in 3ds Max. The app works on Samsung Gear VR devices.
