With the increasing threat of public health emergencies, it became evident that traditional methods of education needed to be revised to capture the attention and interest of the target audience, particularly children. There was a pressing need for a solution that would effectively convey the importance of hygiene practices and preparedness measures memorably and engagingly.
Task
Lusens was tasked with developing a highly interactive and immersive experience to educate children about public health hazards while promoting positive behavior changes, such as hand hygiene. The solution needed to be intuitive, fun, and memorable, ensuring that children not only absorbed the information but retained it in the long term.
In 2011, the Center for Emergency Preparedness and Response at Cobb & Douglas Public Health recognized the critical need for an innovative and engaging method to educate the community, especially children, about public health hazards such as disasters, pandemic flu, and emerging infectious diseases. To address this challenge, they engaged Lusens, a leading provider of interactive technology solutions, to develop an immersive and interactive experience to promotepublic health awareness among children.

1. Engagement: The primary challenge was to capture and maintain the attention of young children amidst competing distractions and stimuli.
2. Educational Effectiveness: Balancing entertainment with educational content was crucial to ensuring that the message resonated with the target audience.
3. Technological Integration: Incorporating the latest computer imaging technologies into a seamless and intuitive user experience presents technical challenges that must be addressed.
4. Accessibility: The solution needed to be accessible to a wide range of audiences, including those with disabilities or limited technological proficiency.
1. Immersive Experience Design: Leveraging its expertise in interactive technology, Lusens designed an immersive experience based on a 360degree wall and floor projection. This approach provided a captivating environment that allowed children to actively participate in the learning process.
2. Interactive Games: To make the learning experience enjoyable, Lusens developed interactive games that taught children about the importance of hand hygiene and other public health practices. By gamifying the educational content, Lusens ensured that children remained engaged and motivated throughout the experience.
3. Content Development: Working closely with public health experts, Lusens developed educational content that was both informative and ageappropriate. The content was tailored to resonate with children and reinforce key public health messages in a memorable manner.
4. Technological Innovation: Lusens integrated cuttingedge computer imaging technologies to create a seamless and intuitive user experience. This included advanced motion tracking and gesture recognition systems that allowed children to interact with the content in a natural and intuitive way.
