Aortic Aneurysm Alert (AAA!)

by Dunja Rashkova, Laura Hudson, RN, Precious Karley

An Educational Game for the General Public

Aortic Aneurysm Alert is a collaborative Unity application, with my amazing and talented course mates Laura Hudson and Precious Karley, designed to make learning about aortic aneurysms more visual and engaging. It allows users to explore a series of themed rooms with 3D anatomical models, animations, videos, interactive activities and a final quiz. My main contributions included modelling and developing the main corridor, creating a physics-based player controller for the player to move around the room, and an interactive ray casting feature where the user can click on the buttons in the corridor and enter each door which is a new scene, and building a terminology scene where users can rotate, inspect and highlight anatomical structures of the heart, as well as learn some information about their heart. The final experience combines anatomy, storytelling and gameplay to communicate medical information in an interesting way to the general public.
