Case Study: CMPG use of virtual reality headsets continued... Mobile:Engaged Impact “Following our KEC, I reflected on our conversation around positive peer pressure and managed to enlist the help of some Stoke City under 23 players to push out positive messages. This was really well received. Rather than the police saying don’t do this or you will be in trouble we had young people, who hold an elevated position amongst their peers, saying we don’t do this, you shouldn’t either” Sergeant, Central Motorway Police Group “All the action is filmed in the immersive and engaging VF4-360 style making learning enjoyable and repeatable. The 90 second life savers enable us to deliver quality education it a very short time that suits a lot of our audiences.” Paul Speight, Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service Leicestershire Fire & Rescue Service have built on the success of the original VF4-360 road safety film, by coming up with a new concept, a series of quick, short, sharp interventions that use behaviour change techniques to engage and educate the public in pedestrian, push-bike and motorcycle safety. All the films show pedestrians and riders making common mistakes that can put them in harm’s way. They show the consequences of when it does goes wrong, then re-wind the film and follow the same story line again but this time correcting the mistakes and bad habits ending with them staying out of harm’s way.
