OneLab VR: Microfuge Safety Scenario
Description
OneLab VR encompasses a 50,000-square-foot virtual facility focused on clinical and public health laboratory training. OneLab VR includes 12 different laboratories and over 100 (and counting) laboratory-specific pieces of hardware and equipment.
We’ve worked extensively with laboratory architects, designers, safety experts, and members of the clinical laboratory community to create this virtual training space. We’ve rigorously researched, tested, and reviewed everything from the physical size and placement of laboratory environments to simple things like the placement of fire alarms and sprinkler systems. As needs grow and we develop new training programs, we will add them to this all-encompassing virtual environment.
OneLab VR includes several 3–5-minute virtual reality training scenarios designed to quickly familiarize the user with laboratory hardware, safety, and task-specific procedures. These training scenarios include videos, voice-overs, and animations to assist learners with training tasks.
Scenario Description
The goal for this scenario is for the user to select the correct tubes, properly balance, and load the centrifuge during the centrifugation process.
Scenario Objectives
At the end of this 5-10 minute scenario, learners should be able to:
- Demonstrate inspecting filled specimen tubes
- Demonstrate loading and balancing tubes
- Demonstrate safe operation of a centrifuge
Virtual Reality (VR) Hardware Needed
This VR course requires a play area of at least 3ft x 3ft, but a larger 20ft x 20ft space is ideal to make the experience feel more accurate and real. This VR course also requires a play area with 360° tracking. Currently, this course is designed to be viewed using the Meta Quest 2 (and above) headset.
OneLab VR must be installed on your Meta Quest headset to complete this scenario
