Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators will conduct a non-inferiority clinical trial to evaluate whether children trained in pedestrian safety amidst a Google Cardboard virtual environment achieve equivalent levels of pedestrian safety to children trained in a full semi-immersive virtual pedestrian environment

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Google Cardboard virtual environment

pedestrian safety training using the Google Cardboard device and delivery of a pedestrian virtual environment by mobile smartphone. Note that children in this arm will be trained using an immersive virtual environment delivered by smartphone, which is different from the other arm that is trained using a semi-immersive virtual environment delivered in a kiosk. The intervention is pedestrian safety training for both arms.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
