VR Simulator for Police Training Education

Shooting simulators have been around for many years, but as technology progresses, they are becoming increasingly important tools to complement live training.

This project answers the research question of how a shooting simulator that is viable for police training and accepted by users can be developed using commercial and publicly available software and components. By developing a software artifact coupled with a 3D-printed controller adapter for Meta Quest 3, we designed and run an exploratory study with the collaboration of the Department of Police Work at MAU.
