CareSpace XR is a patient care room design project in collaboration with the University of Michigan School of Nursing. The project began with interviews conducted by architecture student groups with nursing student groups to explore real-life challenges that nurses commonly encounter in patient care rooms. Subsequently, we visited a patient care room at the School of Nursing, where we used Gravity Sketch for spatial documentation and ergonomic studies.

We devoted considerable effort to synthesizing the information gathered from on-site AR documentation and interviews, translating these data into spatial organization problems. Next, we transferred our initial design into Arkio and conducted a virtual meeting with professors and students from the School of Nursing for a VR project review.

The final design was imported into Unity, and by leveraging the latest Oculus Interaction SDK, we developed a controller-free, hand-interactable VR Patient Care Room project.
