Objective
Develop a solution to reinforce the dangers of distracted driving such as fatigued driving, phone distractions and speeding, and the potential outcomes of reckless driving behaviors.
Approach
An immersive virtual reality headset experience, putting users in a first-person POV of a driver driving with one of the three distracted driving behaviors and experiencing the dangerous consequences 'first-hand' to help enforce more responsible driving by highlighting the consequences in a more personal way.
The Problem
Often Overlooked Dangers of Distracted Driving
James Hardie, one of the world’s leading fiber cement companies, approached SHIIFT to develop a driver awareness tool that reinforced core safety behaviors for their 5,000-strong workforce. Launched as part of their Safety Week, the program needed to identify key risk factors for the driving workforce and create pathways towards prevention, risk minimization, and developing more responsible driving practices.
The Solution
Raise Awareness by putting users in the shoes of a reckless driver
In response to the challenges of creating a non-assessed program within a broader safety campaign, SHIIFT developed an immersive in-vehicle VR experience that took participants on a piloted journey through research-identified scenarios associated with the most common driver awareness blind spots.
Through the implementation of these everyday scenarios the VR experience highlighted real-world situations where a lack of awareness led the participants towards an escalation of risk factors and ultimate vehicle collision. By incorporating a Confirmation of Understanding Statement the experience was not only an effective communication tool but met the requirements of a driver training program, with users needing to identify risks and take responsibility for adopting safer driving practices.
Features include:
360 virtual reality sit-down experience
Statement of understanding that the user agrees to at the end of each experience
2 languages (English and Tagalog)
