ASADA is seeking to expand and complement its e-learning course experiences for anti-doping through the use of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), or Mixed Reality (MR) technology. The Health Effects e-learning module will act as the pioneer course for the use of immersive technology in this educational space.

The experience will allow users to interact with and explore the effects of different substances on the human body within a virtual environment, which will enable users to fully immerse themselves in the experiences, and consequences of doping.

This experience will be used in a variety of different ASADA outreach and face-to-face educations sessions across the sports community. Face to face sessions typically involve around 30 participants in an activities based classroom setting, and outreach events are ‘trade stands’ where athletes and support personnel spend ~5-10 minutes engaging with ASADA.
