Pedestrian safety remains a major :04
concern, especially for children.
Many children attempt to frequently cross :09
dangerous roads and intersections without ever
receiving formal pedestrian safety training.
Pedestrian safety training through Virtual Reality :06
platforms hold promise for teaching children to
be safer pedestrians.
Parents are frequently relying on mobile devices :16
to distract, entertain, and educate their young
children. Parents who own smartphones can
allow their child to use a mobile pedestrian
safety training application that will better prepare
their child to cross the street.
I am currently in development of a mobile VR :16
application for both Android and Iphone
platforms. This application would give access to
valuable training for millions of children who
otherwise would receive no formal training.
With such a variety of pedestrian crossing :13
situations, it can be a difficult task to teach
someone to properly cross the street. This is why
my application is focusing on five learning
objectives that teach the most important
pedestrian safety behaviors.
The first objective is to teach children to identify :04
crosswalks.
Crosswalks are the safest place for anyone to :11
cross the street, and can easily be replicated in
safe, Virtual Reality practice environment.
Objective 2: Identifying Cross signal buttons. :04
It is important to be able to identify the button :09
that will stop traffic. In the application, children
can even initiate the button by pressing the
softkey trigger on the VR headset.
Objective 3: Identifying the Okay to Cross Light :04

AUDIO LENGTH
In the application, children are able to practice :11
looking for the light that signals that it is their turn
to cross the street.
Objective 4: Looking Left, Right, and Left Again :04
Even when a light signals when it is safe to :14
cross, pedestrians need to use careful attention
to check for traffic in both directions. The Virtual
reality application can track the user's head
movement, to insure that the user is indeed
looking left, right, and left again before crossing
the street.
Objective 5: Identifying a safe crossing without a :04
crosswalk.
Not all street crossings happen at designated :11
crosswalks. Being able to cross the street when
a crosswalk isnt available is a real world skill
that people need to learn.
Although the application is not a solution to :08
crossing the street without supervision, The VR
Pedestrian Safety Training App will prepare
prepare children for when they are expected to
cross the street on their own.
