| dc.description | The high levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in Peru constitute a risk for the population,
that does not give it the importance that it should and does not take adequate measures to
protect against it and to prevent skin injuries. This research aims to educate the general
population about the high radiation levels registered in our country. To accomplish this
objective, a virtual reality application was developed to visualize real time UV index, the
maximum exposition time before getting a sunburn according to the user’s skin type, the
potential skin damage, and, lastly, it provides a Solar Protection Factor (SPF)
recommendation. To validate the research, a survey was applied to 63 participants, who
were mostly between 18 and 24 years old, in two parts: the first part (knowledge segment)
was applied before the simulation took place in order to analyze the user’s knowledge
level about the subject; and the second part (application segment) measured how valuable
the application was in terms of education, usability and appeal. The survey results (p <
0.001) indicate that most of the participants do not know or are indifferent to high UV
radiation (knowledge segment), and that the virtual reality application educated the
participants about the UV radiation problem (application segment, education
component). There is evidence that virtual reality can be an effective method to teach
people about a problem, being part of it, and observe the consequences. | |
