Room 1: K3260  |  Medium: VR |  Project: Pre-flight Walkaround |   School:  School of Aviation

For student pilots, learning about the components and mechanism of an airplane in a classroom over PowerPoint, simply "does not fly." Using the power of extended reality, flight students can now interactively learn about conducting a pre-flight inspection in the Seneca XR C172 Walkaround application. Donning a VR headset or participating off a desktop computer, the learner can now experience the sight, sounds, and manoeuvres associated with the pre-flight inspection, just as they would in real-life. Students are guided to learn at their own pace in exploratory mode, using a checklist as they inspect each component of the aircraft for any defects. Students can then test their knowledge in the walkaround mode, which randomizes defects for students to identify, all while being tracked by the instructor.  Students become familiar with the aircraft, developing their skill to follow standardized checklists, and learn about the procedures associated with conducting a pre-flight inspection walkaround on the airplane. I'd say that's a pretty interactive lesson!

Room 2: K3265  |  Medium: VR  |  Project: Injectable Medication  |  School: Nanji Nursing

In an immersive virtual reality clinic setting nursing students can practice key skills for the delivery of IV medication. Preforming complex dosage calculations and accurately administering the medicated IV to the patient. Join us as we walk through the simulation design process and show you highlights from the current version of the application.

Room 2: K3265  |  Medium: AR |  Project: Tkaronto Tour  |  School:  SELS

The “Tour of Tkaronto” invites students to build their awareness of the long-standing Indigenous presence and contributions to the city. As well, to develop their understanding of contemporary issues facing Indigenous communities through learning from urban Indigenous lived experiences.

Alan Eliott, Professor - School of Media

Room 2: K3265  |  Medium: AR |  Project: AR Equipment  |  School:  Media

In tracking mode, the smart device camera is aimed at a tracking image or tracked part of the audio equipment to generate a spawning platform. The user taps the spawning platform to generate the corresponding AR experience.

If using surface mode, the user points the smart device camera at any flat surface. After a few moments, a grid appears over the flat surface. Tapping the grid will create a 3D model of the device in AR.

In either mode, the student will watch short videos on each section of the audio equipment, followed by a demo video. Once the videos have been watched, the student takes a short quiz in the app. The results of the quiz are emailed to the Professor and the student will also get feedback on their answers with the app.
