SHOOT

Team Stunning Creations, consisting of six HKU students and one University student, set out to find a solution for a task given by the Faculty of Veterinarian Medicine. Due to a change in legislation concerning the transport of weak and ill cattle, veterinarians will now have the task of killing a weak or ill animal for consumption purposes on location.

The complex nature of these so-called emergency slaughter situations demanded for more practice for the veterinary students of today. Because real life training of these situations is not possible, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine asked for a game or simulation that would get students acquainted with the various aspects of an emergency slaughter situation.

Through extensive research on the subject, target group and application formats, team Stunning Creations got to the essence of what would be educationally valid and possible to achieve. A virtual reality installation is created in which students can train a protocol, derived from the research results, by actually performing the necessary actions in a fully immersive world.

On this site you can find more information on the project and the team. The workings of the actual Virtual Reality can be seen in the explanatory film. More information on the research that has been imbedded in the concept can be found under the research link.

OUR RESEARCH

To create the eventual product, the research has been of great importance in this project. Focusing on the needs of the target group and getting the insight and know-how from the people with experience the team got to the essence of what they could offer on educational level. Providing a protocol derived from the field that could educate and train students for real life situations.

Further research into the possibilities of application formats and the importance of elements, such as immersion and emotion in educational purposes, lead to the development of a virtual reality application. For more information and the complete research results the research document can be downloaded here.
