SimDANVI is a collaborative research project with Chonnam National University's dental college. This simulation provides training in communication with pediatric patients, dental caries diagnosis, and clinical skills.

• Platform: Virtual Reality

• Contents: communication skill training, diagnostic accuracy training, clinical skill precision training

Roles

• Developed virtual reality based-training simulation through Unity 3D, iClone, and DAZ 3D.

• Evaluated usefulness, satisfaction, and virtual presence through a mixed methods approach (questionnaires, a focus group interview).

• Collected user performance log data (performance errors, performance time, etc.).
