VR Aptitude Test Prototype

Oracle VR Limited approached TSSG to explore the idea of a VR based prototype targeted for use with second level Transition Year students in Ireland. This investigation would include a review of existing hardware with recommendations for possible devices which could be targeted for prototype deployment. Similarly the VR based software prototype should implement aspects currently encountered by students in traditional based Aptitude Tests whilst capturing a quantitative assessment of student performance.

Following requirements gathering and refinement – via meetings and correspondence with Oracle VR – TSSG delivered a two-part solution.

Initially, a Technology Roadmap was created and delivered which encompassed:

• A review of the existing (and imminently released) hardware – with a focus on the technical specifications of candidate devices and features that are most relevant to the envisaged prototype.
• A review of currently used Aptitude Tests – breaking down the types of questions (and sections) which are most suitable for augmentation in the envisaged prototype.
• Design of the prototype and its content.

Development of the initial prototype with tested deployment to a VR based HMD.

Also, a final report detailing the prototype along with instructions for deployment and an instructional walk-through.
