The First VR Game Created for Forensic DNA Study & Training
Technology is advancing quickly, and all companies need to get into the game. The latest on-trend is the brand new development of a virtual reality experience for DNA Extraction. This technology is like none-other currently available. The University of North (UNT) Texas, Health Science Center, and Center for Human Identification (CHI) came to Industrial3D asking to create a virtual training game on the procedures of DNA extraction. This project has been in development for the last year and is finally available for release.
UNT Health Science Center & CHI, with the National Mission and Unidentified Persons System, will significantly benefit from students being able to learn how DNA extraction works – before being in the field, working with essential specimens. In addition, the VR DNA Game is designed for use by college students going through forensic studies to use in lawsuits and investigations.
Forensic studies could greatly benefit from the implementation of VR technology. A VR and PC Game allows in-person classroom and long-distance learning playing. The student can take the immersive test while the game keeps score, allowing for hands-on training, test-taking, and the ability to pass complex tasks. The VR game is available for viewing in a trailer here: https://youtu.be/VFKF5yo0He0
DNA laboratories for forensic use have dramatically increased their data workload, demanding the need for more resources – especially in hiring and training staff. The traditional training method relies on wet laboratory tests and in-house mentoring. Both of these are rather time-consuming, costly, and labor-intensive. Virtual Reality (VR) allows the user to be fully immersed in a simulated environment that mimics the real-world training situation – as a fully functional laboratory experience. As a result, VR can provide an easily accessible option for laboratory training.
Due to the high increase of use in VR software and headsets, Industrial3D was able to create an opportunity to grow an otherwise complicated and expensive learning experience. As the first of its kind, Industrial3D is honored to offer this sort of training solution for forensic science training. The stage is set for the future development and increased use of VR modules for an entire suite of methods and skills necessary for DNA and forensic laboratory studies.
