Search & Rescue

Simulation

A VR search-and-rescue simulation built with a military subject-matter expert to teach TCCC MARCH (Massive hemorrhage, Airway, Respirations, Circulation, Head injury/hypothermia), the Army's standard for treating a downed patient in the field. Players locate an injured ranger, work through the MARCH protocol on-site, and coordinate an evacuation.

Built for Unity's Iron-Dev competition at I/ITSEC, in direct partnership with Unity. The project ran on HDRP, one of the earliest uses of Unity's high-definition pipeline in a VR training scenario.

MY ROLE

I was the sole designer on a two-person team, working alongside an engineer who handled VR-specific technical requirements. I owned the simulation's narrative, environment, and instructional design end to end.

  • Designed the simulation narrative and story beats, pitched via storyboard to the team and our SME to ensure accurate coverage of TCCC MARCH

  • Hand-sculpted a 1 km² terrain and built all environment art, guiding players from a walking path into a wooded search area

  • Designed in-world UI with instructional popups guiding each step of MARCH: tourniquet application, airway insertion, pulse checks

  • Modeled and textured key props: a nasopharyngeal device, leg tourniquet, Stokes rescue basket, and a custom rescue drone

  • Handled VR optimization on experimental HDRP: texture atlasing, custom LODs, baked lighting, and mesh baking
