Important results from the project
The project has increased understanding of how immersive technology can be used in regions, especially when VR training is combined with biometric data. A legal expert report clarifies how regulations affect such services. User studies with students provided insights into VR experiences and privacy issues. A planned phase of testing in the region could not be carried out, but the project´s objective was largely achieved and the results provide a foundation for further development.
Expected long term effects
The project´s legal analysis provides municipalities and regions with a clear basis for assessing and procuring immersive technology in a safer way. The developed methods strengthen both teaching and research and create new opportunities for future projects. Together with established networks, the results lay a solid foundation for the continued development of safe and legally sustainable use of VR in the public sector.
Approach and implementation
The project was implemented through workshops, analyses and user studies with students to investigate how immersive technology can be used in the public sector. A central part was the legal analysis that was developed and discussed in the project network. The approach worked well and yielded important results, even though a planned phase with tests in municipality and region could not be carried out due to changed circumstances at a project partner. Otherwise, the project largely followed plan.
