Immersive virtual reality (VR) is a technology that can be effective for procedural skills training through game-based simulations such as serious games.The current study describes the instructional design, development, and evaluation of the FSCHOOL fire preparedness serious game in a cave automatic virtual environment (CAVE-VR) for elementary school teachers.The main game mechanics include a storytelling scenario, enhanced realism, freedom of movement, levels, and points corresponding to the learning mechanics of instruction, HOOVER H-Wash 300 HBD 485D2E Integrated 8 kg Washer Dryer - White action, simulation, discovery, repetition, and imitation.The game was developed in Unity 3D with the help of the Fire Dynamics Simulator and a script to emulate Sleep Aid and visualize fire propagation.
The game featured three levels to respond to school fire safety regulations and was evaluated by elementary school teachers (N = 33) in Greece.A comparative quantitative study was conducted with experimental and control groups.The results indicate that the VR serious game is appropriate for training, providing challenge, enjoyment, and mastery.
