VR Simulation Training
Instructional design and scriptwriting for virtual reality are much different from other media. The challenges of writing and thinking in a 6DOF (Six Degrees of Freedom) environment--where the body is free to move left/right, up/down and forward/backward in three perpendicular axes (combined with changes in orientation)--offers both challenges and opportunities for world creation.
It was with this in mind that I set out to write the script for Commuter in Crisis, where learners were free to look around and move around the entire train station. The challenge was to ensure that officers looked at and/or moved in the proper directions to manage the situation and stay on top of other potential threats.
Because I am under an NDA, I am not able to share my script. But I am able to share the initial storyboard decision path for the program.
