What We Do
We are a dynamic and passionate team of five developers hailing from the University of Michigan. United by our shared enthusiasm for technology and innovation, we have come together to create something extraordinary: RiskyRoads, a groundbreaking VR simulation app designed to make a real difference.
Novelty
While there are various driving simulation apps on the market, RiskyRoads sets itself apart by focusing on risky behaviors and challenging driving conditions. The novelty lies in its unique approach to educating users about the dangers of drunk driving, driving in adverse weather conditions, not wearing seat belts, texting while driving, etc. By providing an immersive experience on these issues, the app aims to to raise awareness, instill responsible driving habits, and ultimately contribute to a significant reduction in road accidents and fatalities.
XR
EMPHASIS
RiskyRoads leverages VR technology to its fullest extent, providing an immersive experience that 2D platforms cannot replicate. Our app allows users to be fully immersed in the simulated environments, enabling them to experience the challenges of dangerous driving practices in a realistic manner. The three-dimensional, interactive nature of VR enhances the learning experience, making it more impactful and engaging. By utilizing VR, RiskyRoads creates a sense of presence and realism that is crucial for driving home the message about responsible driving behavior.
Social Impact
RiskyRoads has a significant social impact by promoting awareness about the consequences of dangerous driving practices. By simulating these scenarios, the app educates users about the risks associated with impaired and distracted driving. This awareness can contribute to reducing real-world accidents and promoting responsible driving habits. RiskyRoads could be used as an educational tool by schools, driving schools, and law enforcement agencies to educate individuals about the dangers of reckless driving, thereby making roads safer for everyone.
