Seeing the first paediatric patient is often a complex interaction which is wrought with difficulties and anxiety.

Dr Shabana Younas, Senior Clinical Lecturer in Paediatric Dentistry, collaborated with Ben Audsley, E-Learning Manager of the Institute of Dentistry and his team to design an immersive learning experience for dental students. These VR learning experiences aim to alleviate some of the anxiety behind this process and build a little confidence to prepare students to see their first paediatric dentistry patients.

The project uses CenarioVR to create a 360 video virtual reality (VR), scenarios were created by using actors. The videos have been used by BDS Year 2 and 3 during 2022-23.
