A new approach to water safety education, 
VR survival swimming content 

 


PROJECTIMXR® Immersive VR Content - Youth Survival Swimming
PROJECT GOAL

Youth safety education is a core education that protects lives, and experiential learning connected to real life is essential. However, experiential education is not easy due to issues such as securing physical practice space, instructors, and costs. Samwoo Immersion wanted to contribute to creating an accessible safety education environment by using VR content as a pre-teaching material to enhance the effectiveness of safety education for youth.

“ Learn survival swimming techniques in a virtual environment to enhance your ability to cope with real-life crises. ”


In addition to the primary goals of survival and accident prevention, youth safety education strengthens the ability to cope with crises and protect the safety of others. Through continuous safety education, children learn about roles and consideration within the community and grow into responsible adults who create a safe society.

Crisis response education such as survival swimming is important to learn through hands-on experience, including theoretical learning. However, it is not easy to practice multiple times due to difficulties in securing practice spaces and instructors. Samwoo Immersion provides an educational environment where anyone can experience safely without time or place restrictions, so that students can learn the core concepts and behavioral techniques of survival swimming without actually entering the water, so that even students who are afraid of water can begin learning without burden.


Learn survival swimming in a virtual space with an indoor swimming pool as the background, without any geographical or spatial constraints.
Teachers and students can practice the curriculum together, creating a dynamic class environment.



Overview

Effective safety education VR content that increases confidence in survival swimming and lowers psychological barriers  

Samwoo Immersion provided customized VR learning solutions so that students can actively acquire the value of ‘safety’ and practice it voluntarily.
In particular, survival swimming practice in everyday clothes indoors reduces the psychological burden of body exposure and creates an educational environment in which anyone can participate comfortably. It helps to relieve learners' anxiety or resistance before practicing in an actual swimming pool, allowing them to participate in the training with more confidence.

Integrated education of theory and practical training to enhance learning comprehension
Easy understanding of survival swimming techniques through various forms of performance guides
Optimized technology that implements realistic graphics
and natural movements




Immersion Strategy

To increase the accessibility of survival swimming training, we implemented a training area with an actual swimming pool as the background in the virtual space. The difference between water and surface, waves, water droplet movements, etc. are realistically expressed to increase immersion, and even the leader's actions are realistically reproduced to induce a similar level of concentration as actual training.




IXMR® Immersive VR Content - Youth Survival Swimming

Samwoo Immersion's IMXR® immersive VR content - Youth Survival Swimming has implemented high-resolution modeling that is close to reality. It provides an immersive safety education experience by expressing not only the space with the swimming pool as the background, but also the trembling of the water surface and the splashes caused by splashing through detailed animation.

01. Educational Objectives
You can improve your concentration on practical training by clearly identifying the objectives of your training.
02. Step-by-step learning process
You can learn 5-step survival swimming techniques including water adaptation.



Survival swimming step-by-step learning process

Learn the 5 core stages of youth survival swimming education. You can check the movements that learners will practice on the guide panel that explains the learning process for each stage, and the narration explains the movements to be performed. Move to the stage where you can perform it yourself by referring to the demonstration shown by the instructor located in front of you.

Come into contact with water and make splashes. Get used to water by doing water-like movements.
Float in a supine position on the water. Learn how to use buoyancy to conserve energy and stay afloat for longer.
Learn the sculling movement to keep your body afloat above the water surface and use the stroke to move through the water.
Practice the basic breathing technique, ‘sonic breathing’, to learn how to control your breathing safely underwater.
Learn the body temperature maintenance
postures essential for survival.
Learn how to wear a life jacket
so you can use it in real situations.



IMXR® Immersive VR Content - Specialized Technology for Youth Survival Swimming 


Key Features

Samwoo Immersion's VR technology proposes a new category of safety education. By implementing training locations, safety equipment, and characters with realistic modeling, you can maximize the immersion of trainees based on IX (Imersion eXperience).

Procedure Education Training Response Our standardized Framework (IMBuilder-B) is applied to provide the same interaction as the actual survival swimming training course through user-centered UI·UX design, thereby maximizing the experience effect.Increase learner understanding through narration, subtitles, and theoretical explanations.

It is possible to develop scenarios for various safety trainings using the same structure, allowing for expansion and advancement of content in the future.


1. Implementing procedural scenarios
2. Implementing interactions 
similar to real operations
3. Providing high-quality 3D modeling and immersive environments
Designed to enable step-by-step learning
of survival swimming
Implementing water interactions by replacing underwater actions with simple hand gesturesEnvironment based on real swimming pool and realistic objects and characters




H/W Solution 

SEA EXPLORERS OF KOREA is utilizing Samwoo Immersion  IXMR® immersive VR content - Youth Survival Swimming for practical training using Meta Quest2.


Meta Quest 2 is a standalone VR system that allows free learning without separate equipment, eliminating spatial constraints. By wearing a headset, free hand movements and posture changes are possible, and various interactions can be performed. Students can experience immersive VR content anytime, anywhere, and training using this device stimulates students' curiosity and enables active participation. It provides an immersive experience by utilizing a high-resolution display and high frame rate.




Samwoo Immersion's VR content goes beyond simple knowledge transfer, viewing participants as learners with high growth potential and capabilities, helping them learn at their own pace and in their own way, and providing an environment where they can experience growth on their own. Various teaching strategies and feedback methods that were difficult to implement in existing education can also be flexibly applied in VR. 


Samwoo Immersion can offer useful and innovative educational content to educational institutions exploring new teaching methods.  And we will think together about building a better educational environment through the optimal solution tailored to the needs and goals of our customers, and become a partner necessary for the journey to foster future talent.



The moment you immerse yourself, you grow! 

Maximize your capabilities with XR and AI (X-RAI) technology.
