The students from UCL are building the simulations in VitaSim’s own platform, VitaSim Author, while the student from SDU is mapping the learning flow needed in the simulation. Right now they’re working on a simulation where nursing students can practice giving injections in VR. For Martin Bjerkov Hansen (SDU) it’s very important to take mistakes into account:
“It’s crucial that you can give some kind of feedback when you make a mistake. It’s not enough to create simulations where you can only do things right.”
And that’s exactly the great advantage of doing training in VR: you’re able to practice over and over again and make mistakes without it causing discomfort to patients or having fatal consequences.
