Abstract
In the Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction Senior High School course under the Philippine K-12 curriculum, there is little hands-on application of lessons learned for disaster preparedness. There are existing virtual reality applications that have been designed to train disaster preparedness. However, issues related to user experience and the missed potential of VR in hands-on training were found. Most were also not designed for the classroom. In this paper, a design for a VR application that would address said issues and be intended for Senior High School students and teachers is proposed. This is meant to supplement the classroom experience. Features such as the usage of virtual hands, movement options, and recording of the user’s activity for future viewing, among others, are incorporated.
