Role
Lead Unity Developer

Description
A VR-based medical training experience designed to teach students the core responsibilities of a Medical Assistant, covering essential clinical procedures such as heart rhythm monitoring (ECG), vision tests, CPR, PPE usage, first aid, biomedical equipment handling, and more. Through realistic VR simulations, students develop hands-on skills in a controlled, immersive learning environment, reinforcing knowledge required for medical certification.

Purpose
This experience is part of a Career and Technical Education (CTE) initiative, preparing students for Medical Assistant certification exams by providing realistic simulations of daily tasks in the healthcare field. It enhances learning through interactive, scenario-based training, allowing students to practice medical procedures in a virtual setting before working with real patients.

Key Responsibilities

• Medical Simulation Development: Built realistic VR interactions for ECG, CPR, first aid, suturing, and biomedical equipment use, ensuring accurate procedural execution.
• Immersive Environment Design: Modeled and implemented virtual medical training rooms, complete with patient models, hospital tools, and medical workstations.
• Interactive Learning Modules: Developed step-by-step medical scenarios guiding students through each procedure with real-time feedback.
• User Input & Haptics: Designed VR hand-tracking and haptic feedback for tool handling (e.g., AED paddles, ECG leads, scalpels, syringes).
• Performance Optimization: Optimized 3D assets, lighting, and physics-based interactions to ensure smooth VR performance.

Tech Stack

• Game Engine: Unity (C#)
• VR Integration: Oculus/Meta SDK
• Version Control: Git, GitHub

Design Tools

• Blender/Maya (for 3D models of hospital rooms, medical tools, and equipment)
• Photoshop (for UI/UX elements and texture work)
• Figma (for interface wireframes and training flowcharts)

Platform(s)

• VR Headsets (primary development)
• Browser-Based Training (secondary version not part of my role)

Core Mechanics / Features

• Heart Rhythm & ECG Simulation: Students perform electrode placement, machine calibration, and heart rhythm analysis using a VR ECG device.
• Vision Testing Procedure: Includes both letter-based and symbol-based eye charts, requiring students to document vision test results.
• CPR & AED Training: A real-time CPR simulation with guided chest compressions, rescue breathing, and AED application.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Simulation: Students learn proper donning and doffing of PPE gear in a healthcare setting.
• Biomedical Equipment Interaction: Hands-on practice with stethoscopes, blood pressure cuffs, centrifuges, microscopes, and more.
• Suture Removal & Wound Dressing: A realistic surgical aftercare scenario where students practice suture and staple removal and apply sterile dressings.
• First Aid & Bleeding Control: Covers wound care, pressure point application, and infection control techniques.
