Virtual Reality
Immersive driving experiences to reinforce the dangers of irresponsible driving such as distracted driving, fatigued driving and speeding
CLIENT
James Hardie
OBJECTIVE
Develop a solution to reinforce the dangers of irresponsible Driving such as Fatigued driving, Distracted Driving and speeding, and the potential outcomes to this reckless behaviour.
APPROACH
An immersive virtual reality headset experience, putting users in a first-person POV of a driver driving with one of the three reckless driving behaviours and experiencing the dangerous consequences ‘first-hand’ to help enforce more responsible driving by highlighting the consequences in a more personal way.
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 responsible driving practices.
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.
