Greetings, everyone – hope you’re keeping well.
To say it’s been a difficult year so far would be an understatement. That said, it’s been inspiring to see the many ways people all over have adapted to help each other through the current crisis. Here at the studio, we feel lucky to be partnering with fellow Oregon-based company Shift in their quest to create an immersive VR-based COVID training program.
“Our goal was to provide virtual reality COVID-19 training for healthcare workers and those working in post-acute care and long-term care facilities who are being asked to engage in care that is outside their normal practice as well as for those whose training is out of date.”
– Wendy Morgan, CEO & co-founder, Shift
While Shift was initially founded with the goal of helping educators identify and correct racial bias, the founders quickly pivoted operations toward training healthcare workers for the challenges ahead. Their training program enables healthcare workers to learn and practice proper procedures thoroughly before coming into contact with any patients.
We are honored that Shift trusted us to provide them with motion capture, voice, and Unity development. Watch the result in action here!
