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.

Content of the project

Students were recruited to create short video/animation of donning-on/-off, and chemical spillage.
Virtual reality modules were created to simulated laboratory emergencies:Virtual reality modules were created to simulated laboratory emergencies:
