| Abstract: | This paper aims to develop a research device for a specific case study. This research device is a tool created for an emergency escape team that wants to use a mobile device to help during emergency evacuations. The tool will resemble this mobile device and has specific requirements, the most important of which are that it must have dynamic vibrations, visuals, and sound. Furthermore, it must be used in VR as the initial test to see if the idea works will be done using a VR Unity project. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with three members of the emergency escape team at three separate moments during the development of the tool. The tool can use two separate motors to control its vibrations and has a Vive tracker clipped onto it used to track it in VR. Audio is done in Unity using the built-in 3d special audio and the visuals are also done in the same Unity project. Furthermore, there is a guide on how to set up everything that is needed for the device to function. The guide also includes common problems and how to fix them. In conclusion, a tool for a specific case study can be developed using existing technologies and basic programming skills. |
