RAIL researchers have designed and implemented a virtual reality program that provides children a way to safely learn and practice smart pedestrian behaviors. Based on international traffic accident statistics and real-world stories, the RAIL team used learning and design theories to create 3 challenges, or scenarios, for the virtual environment. A special partnership with Globepoint, Inc, as well as Daegu National University of Education, both located in Korea, allowed for the development and implementation of this program with 2nd graders in Daegu City.
