VRtualize in Simulation and Training

Road safety education is considered one of the most important basic skills that need to be taught on children with the correct best practical way since they are small. However, many programs, do not consider the practical skills of the road-crossing task, the functional and behavioral factors that may put some children at increased risk, and the most beneficial methods to transfer knowledge to improved behavior in modern, real-world environments. Therefore, to address this issue, VRtualize, a Virtual Reality in Simulation and Training will be programmed. VRtualize will train children on how to cross the road using the correct method and will create awareness on the importance of road safety. This program is giving the real experience to cross the road while the children do not expose to the road danger. It will use the Unity as the platform to create the program using C# language. The program will be using 3D effect using the Google Oculus to give the real experience being on real road. Children need to undergo three levels which are first the road with car passing, second road, practice to cross using zebra cross and last cross practice is using pedestrian bridge. The Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology is used for this project. Surveys and interviews are the sources to collect data about this project.
