VR Goggles

Set-Up:

• VR Goggle headset
• Samsung phone
• Headphones
• Chargers
• Set up guide
• Remote

Set up tips:

• Decide which modes you would like the students to try out.
  • The Rollover Convincer demonstrates seat belt safety.
  • The Distracted Driving video demonstrates a distracted driver that uses the 3 main types of distractions: visual, manual, and cognitive.

 Facilitation:

1. Invite your peers over to try out the VR goggles. You probably won’t have to work that hard to get people wanting to try it because it’s a popular attraction.
2. Clearly establish a time limit or rule, such as each person can try for X minutes or until mistakes are made. A time limit will allow for more people to have a turn. We recommend approximately 5 minutes per person, but it can depend on the situation.
3. The goal of this activity is to educate your peers about the risks of inexperienced driving, so try to include that educational component at the end.
   • You could combine the flashcards activity with the goggles, asking participants trivia questions after they complete their turn.
     

Don’t Forget:

• Make sure to test the program before inviting teens to participate, so you are familiar with how to get the program started and ensure that all the components (steering wheel, pedals, etc.) are working correctly. 
• Adult supervision may be needed if teen participants are not respecting the time limit or are not being respectful of the equipment.
• Coordinate with your Regional Rep to return the simulator to TDS upon completion of this activity. 
• Submit an event/activity form so you can earn All-Stars credit.

Make it GREAT:

• Utilize your TDS kit and resources, such as posters, yard signs, etc. to reinforce messaging. 
• Take pictures and post them on social media. Make sure to tag us @teensdriverseat, so we can see all the great work you do!
