The study about using VR with smart phones for road safety awareness and timing

This paper explores the road safety awareness for pedestrian in developing country especially for young adults when crossing a road in Malaysia. A Virtual Reality (VR) mobile game was designed and developed to train pedestrian on the correct and safe methods of crossing a road. The two primary aims of the game are to create the awareness of road safety and to improve the timing estimation of young pedestrian when crossing a road. This VR mobile game serves as a supplementary learning tool on road safety instead of replacing existing methods. Through our preliminary testing, we have found out that with the use of four scenarios in the Road Safe VR game, players are more immersed and familiar with the correct methods for crossing roads.
