Stop and Search VR Simulator

Overview

Stop and Search VR Simulator is a university team project developed in Unity. The project was prompted by an external source to create a VR application that could help train police officers in conducting effective stop and search procedures.

Features

• VR Training Simulation: Immersive VR environment for realistic police training.
• NPC Pedestrians: NPCs walk along a virtual street, simulating real-world scenarios.
• Randomized Illegal Objects: Occasionally, an NPC will have an illegal object, requiring the officer to identify and stop them.
• Scoring System: Officers gain points for correctly identifying and stopping individuals carrying illegal items.
• Team Collaboration: Developed as a team project, with shared responsibilities and regular meetings.
• Unity Engine: Built using Unity and C# for VR compatibility.

Technologies Used

• Unity
• C#
• VR Development (e.g., Oculus, SteamVR)
• NPC AI and behavior scripting

Challenges & Solutions

• VR Interaction: Designed intuitive controls and interactions for VR users.
• NPC Behavior: Implemented AI for realistic pedestrian movement and randomization of illegal objects.
• Team Coordination: Collaborated effectively to meet the external prompt and project deadlines.

Future Improvements

• Add more complex scenarios and branching outcomes.
• Integrate feedback and analytics for training assessment.
• Expand compatibility with more VR hardware.
