Overview

About this simulation

Participants assume the role of a Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT). The experience begins with an introduction to navigating the virtual environment through the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Learners then progress through a series of structured chapters, each dedicated to a specific area of MLT science and focused on performing a particular laboratory test.

Throughout the simulation, users are guided step by step with the support of a detailed digital clipboard and clear verbal instruction. This approach enables participants to gain hands-on experience by completing each procedure using accurate, one-to-one 3D recreations of real laboratory equipment. As the simulation unfolds, a narrator highlights the purpose and significance of each step, reinforcing understanding and deepening the learner's insight into professional laboratory practices.

Chapters

What you'll experience

  1. Chemical Chemistry

    The experience begins with an introduction to Chemical Chemistry, where learners are guided through the operation of a centrifuge to complete a blood glucose test.

  2. Histology

    Participants move into Histology, gaining hands-on experience with slide preparation by learning how to splice and fix a specimen correctly.

  3. Clinical Microbiology

    Learners perform a Gram stain using a petri dish and microscope, developing practical skills in microbial identification.

  4. Transfusion Science

    The simulation introduces blood typing procedures and compatibility testing to reinforce safe transfusion practices.

  5. Hematology

    The final module centers on Hematology, where instructional guidance is reduced and learners are encouraged to independently apply their knowledge, completing the test with minimal narration and full autonomy.
