Creative Work

Medical VR Simulations is a collection of immersive training modules focused on medical procedures and clinical workflows. Developed for standalone VR devices, these experiences were designed to provide healthcare professionals with scalable and repeatable training within realistic clinical environments. The modules were designed to support procedural learning, collaboration, and efficient training workflows while maintaining strong usability and alignment with customer requirements.

The modules were developed as multiplayer experiences that allowed users to collaborate during guided medical procedures within realistic clinical environments. They supported both instructor-led and self-directed training, allowing trainees to safely practise complex tasks without requiring physical equipment or facilities.

One of the key systems implemented across the modules was a proprietary workflow navigation feature using a virtual smartwatch interface. This functionality enabled users and facilitators to skip procedural stages, revisit sections, and move more efficiently through the training process during demonstrations and repeated sessions.

Analytics and tracking systems were integrated to support learner evaluation and performance monitoring. Multiplayer synchronisation, procedural state management, and interaction systems were implemented to ensure reliable shared experiences across connected users.

The modules were deployed on Meta Quest and Pico XR devices, requiring optimisation for standalone hardware while maintaining responsive interactions and stable multiplayer performance.

These training simulations were primarily developed using the Unity engine and programmed using C#. Multiplayer functionality was implemented using Fusion Networking, enabling synchronised interactions between multiple users.

The modules were developed using SkillsVR’s proprietary Content Creation Kit (CCK), which provided reusable systems and workflows for VR training development. Analytics and training insights were supported through integrations with Cognitive3D, enabling interaction tracking and performance analysis.

Additional focus was placed on maintaining high performance for standalone VR devices such as Meta Quest and Pico XR. The development process involved implementing custom procedural logic, synchronised workflow systems, reusable interaction mechanics, and multiplayer state management tailored to customer requirements.

The development process involved close collaboration with artists, project managers, QA testers, stakeholders, and subject matter experts to ensure that each training module accurately reflected the required procedures and learning outcomes. Working within tight production schedules required constant communication, rapid iteration, and close coordination across multidisciplinary teams.

• VR Development: Developed and integrated medical procedure simulations using Unity and C#.
• Multiplayer Systems: Implemented synchronised multiplayer interactions using Fusion networking.
• Custom Logic: Developed procedural systems and reusable interaction mechanics.
• Workflow Navigation: Implemented a virtual smartwatch system for procedural skipping and navigation.
• Optimisation: Maintained stable performance for standalone VR devices including Meta Quest and Pico XR.
• Testing and Debugging: Supported rapid iteration, troubleshooting, and QA feedback implementation.
• Deployment Support: Assisted with integration and deployment processes for VR training environments.

One of the primary challenges involved implementing multiplayer systems capable of satisfying complex customer requirements while maintaining reliable synchronisation and performance across standalone VR hardware. Ensuring that procedural states, interactions, and object behaviours remained consistent between connected users required extensive testing and iterative refinement of networked systems.

Another major challenge involved balancing complex interactions with the hardware limitations of standalone VR devices. Optimising scripts, networking behaviour, and workflows was essential to maintain smooth frame rates and responsive user experiences.

Additionally, translating highly specific procedural requirements into intuitive interactions required continuous collaboration with stakeholders, QA testers, and subject matter experts throughout development and testing phases.

The training modules successfully delivered scalable procedural learning experiences tailored to healthcare environments. The simulations provided flexible training tools that supported collaborative learning, repeated practice, and improved accessibility to procedural training.

This work strengthened my experience in multiplayer VR development, procedural system design, optimisation for standalone hardware, and collaboration within multidisciplinary production teams operating under demanding delivery schedules. The projects also deepened my understanding of how immersive technologies can support professional training, engagement, and operational efficiency within clinical environments.
