Cybersecurity VR Training Game Development

We are seeking an experienced VR game developer to assist in creating a virtual reality (VR) training game focused on cybersecurity awareness and best practices for healthcare professionals. The project is funded under a DELTA grant and aims to enhance cybersecurity education through immersive, scenario-based learning experiences. Project Scope The game will simulate real-world cybersecurity threats and scenarios that healthcare professionals face, providing interactive training in a realistic hospital environment. The VR training will cover topics such as: Phishing and social engineering attacks targeting healthcare staff. Data breaches and handling protected health information (PHI) under HIPAA compliance. Ransomware attacks and incident response protocols in a hospital setting. Secure handling of medical devices and IoT security in healthcare. Key Features 15 static VR levels: Predefined scenarios rather than generative AI-based interactions. Role-based training: Users can take on different roles, such as a nurse, doctor, or IT staff, and experience cybersecurity challenges from multiple perspectives. Decision-based interactions: Users must make security decisions in real time, with immediate feedback on their actions. Gamified learning experience: Incorporating points, rewards, and progress tracking. Realistic 3D hospital environment with interactive objects (computers, medical equipment, patient records). Voice-over instructions and in-game guidance for immersive training. Development Requirements The game should be developed for Meta Quest 3. Unity or Unreal Engine is preferred for development. The game should be optimized for standalone VR headsets without requiring external PC processing. Integration with a learning management system (LMS) for progress tracking is a plus. Ideal Freelancer Experience in VR game development using Unity or Unreal Engine. Strong understanding of UI/UX design for VR to ensure intuitive interactions. Familiarity with healthcare cybersecurity concepts is a bonus. Ability to deliver assets and code efficiently within a defined timeline. Portfolio showcasing previous VR training or simulation projects is preferred. The anticipated duration of the training game should be between 1-3 hours. The hospital environment should have high-detail textures and realistic designs. The 3D hospital environment should have high-detail textures and realistic designs to provide an immersive training experience.
