Nursing VR: Inserting an NG Tube
Using XRCC to create a practice tool for a risky nursing procedure.
Rafi Ansari, Wendy Wong
This project was designed to replicate a previous nursing project made in Unity, where the user would practice inserting an NG Tube into a baby or a child. The project aimed to prove that such professional simulations could be created by beginners in a tool which is much easier to pick up compared to Unity.
In the simulation, the user, a nurse, would follow a step-by-step procedure from preparation of the tube to the insertion, and extraction of fluids for testing. The preparation had to be meticulous as a potential missed step could lead to the wrong insertion or an infection due to improper cleaning, leading to potential fatal consequences in real life.
The project improved upon the original Unity project and concluded in 2024 with a presentation to nursing professors.
