Shaping the Future of VR Training
Real-Time Simulation
OVERVIEW
This project is a VR-based training system aimed at helping law enforcement professionals improve decision-making in high-pressure, real-world scenarios. The goal was to enhance training outcomes through immersive, interactive simulations while equipping trainers with tools to track engagement and performance.
I collaborated with engineers, researchers, and product managers to design scalable, user-centered experiences. I led efforts in user research, prototyping, and UI development using Figma, ensuring each design decision aligned with both user needs and business goals.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
"How might we leverage data from VR training equipment to develop a Tracking & Evaluate system that enhances training and unlocks the full potential of these VR systems?"
RESEARCH
To understand the user journey, I conducted Interviews with trainers and trainees, usability evaluations of existing tools, and competitive Analysis of VR training platforms.

Interview Insights
observers often take notes during training sessions, underscoring the importance of a relaxed atmosphere during debriefing. Participants felt it was crucial to learn from mistakes and understand the consequences of their actions.
Debriefing Matters:
Feedback:
is Essential training feedback begins at the start of debriefings and includes both verbal and written input, which is crucial for continuous improvement.
Playback Functionality:
a notable gap in current VR training is the lack of a playback feature. Trainees expressed a strong interest in being able to review their performance, compare it to peers, and set goals for improvement.
