Immersive virtual reality (VR) simulations are a common possibility to provide surgeons with additional training. One of the main benefits is the high motivation due to a high sense of presence. Nevertheless, the motivation can be increased by adding feedback and gamification aspects. Therefore, we are looking for a student, who will investigate and implement gamification concepts that are appropriate for an already existing medical VR training application.
Your task would be to:
- research existing and similar approaches regarding gamification and acquire some medical background
- develop appropriate gamification concepts
- implement these concepts in an existing VR training application
- conduct a user study to evaluate the developed concepts
The project has to be realised in the game engine Unity, thus the following is required:
- knowledge of basic computer graphics
- experience with C# (and Unity)
