近年来，在专业领域和商业环境中使用虚拟现实（VR）的使用量增加了。 VR的现代应用包括游戏，电影，教育，艺术和医疗保健等。当今，VR应用程序已经存在于昂贵的研究实验室之外；他们被雇用来解决现实世界中的问题。为了探索VR的新实用应用，我们以选择自己的冒险游戏的形式设计并原型制定了一个正在进行的常见骑自行车事件的VR移动应用程序。我们的目标是向人们传授城市自行车安全性，并在驱动社区内对骑自行车者的同情心。
In recent years, there has been a rise in the use of virtual reality (VR) both in specialized fields and commercial settings. Modern applications of VR include games, films, education, arts, and healthcare, etc. Today, VR applications exist beyond expensive research labs; they are being employed to solve real world problems. To explore a new practical application of VR, we designed and prototyped a work-in-progress VR mobile app of common biking incidents in the form of a choose-your-own-adventure game. Our goal is to teach people about bicycle safety in cities, and to foster empathy within the driving community towards cyclists.
