Student Cooperation In Action!

This summer we are developing two applications to assist teaching at Metropolia UAS. With funding from Ministry of Education and Culture, we hired eight trainees to work on these projects, one game designer, three artists and four programmers.

First of these applications is an ambulance simulator, developed as the first part of larger learning environment in Myllypuro campus. We are developing a driving simulator, where students can train emergencies and drive around Helsinki area. The simulator is controlled with steering wheel and pedals while wearing a virtual reality headset, more specifically, HTC Vive.

The second application is created to support a web course where students can learn the basics of accessibility. We are developing a virtual reality application, where students must discover accessibility issues in the environment and use the tools available to fix these issues.
