CSESimppeli CPR is a multiplayer VR environment that
teaches a student the right procedure for varying CPR cases
Game goal
Simppeli CPR teaches students how to react during different CPR cases. Students can face four different CPR situations, where they need to decide what are the right actions to take. Students need to maintain the correct pressing frequency, use a defibrillator, administer drugs and, give oxygen at the right time. The main goal is to help students learn the different CPR types and understand how to act during them.
Teaching content
The game environment was developed in cooperation with the health education personnel, who compiled all the content for both the teaching aspects and the virtual environment outlook. The procedures and all the necessary actions were carefully explained by KAMK health care personnel so that the teaching content presented in the game would be as accurate as possible.
Gameplay
Simppeli CPR was designed to be played by 2-4 players in virtual reality. One player is tasked with performing the correct chest compression, while the other player or players give additional oxygen, operate the defibrillator, and administer the necessary drugs. All these actions and the pressing frequency are visible in the admin view, where teachers can follow the performance, and ultimately, decide whether CPR was successful or not.
Game creation
The ER environment from previous educational game was used as a starting point for the project. Some modifications were made for virtual reality use and additional CPR-related content was created. VR usability was implemented, as well as multiplayer support and an additional administrative view.
Future development
Currently, the chest compression is performed using VR controllers while pressing down on air. We are researching options on how to include haptic feedback gloves into the system or to use sensors connected to CPR doll. The aim is to make the action more natural and increase the realism of the game. We are also interested in developing the game more if additional funding can be found.
