VR Laboratory Safety Training Session

Leveraging interactive AI-based tools to create laboratory safety and infection control training/teaching modules

PI: Boon Siaw Shi

CDG-S3 Courseware Development Grant (S3-211)

Project duration: 12 August 2024 – 15 April 2025

Funding approved: HK$ 198,560.00

Objectives:

To create AI-based micro-modules to cover laboratory standard operating and life-saving protocols.

To enforce steps to respond to laboratory emergencies and prevent the spread of clinical pathogens to the community.

To merge training and assessment of micro-modules through game-based Virtual Reality (VR) animations.
