The Strategic Logistics course taught through the School of Business at UNSW Canberra used several real-world events and scenarios as case-studies to explore the concepts being covered. One of these was the early 20th Century Race to the South Pole and the idea was hatched to turn this set of readings into a simulation where the students could play the role of explorer. They would be able to select their crew and transport, setup supply depots and made decisions an the actual journey which would would effect their speed and survival.
Project Details
The web-based simulation has been re-created as a version two with all new UI and systems to support a cleaner and simpler play experience bringing forward the ideas of risk vs reward as players attempt to succeed where Scott failed.
TECHNOLOGY & DEVELOPMENT
The active design and development of the project continues with feedback from the academics, education designers and the students being incorporated into the experience as well as the tuning of the simulation numbers. The staff and work integrated learning student developers are using the Unity game engine to bring together all the elements via the webgl experience.
