SMU Mind the Drone

Take charge of your case as you step into the shoes of a plaintiff in an incident! “Mind the Drone” is a Virtual Reality Experience developed for the School of Law in Singapore Management University. The app aims to provide immersive virtual learning environment for students to better appreciate the application of tort legal principles to real-life situations and circumstances. Students interact with the items and people in the case to select and curate relevant evidence in order to make an informed determination on whether tortious liability has been made out, and to what extent.

(iv) the extent of damages claimable
(v) the legal defences that the tortfeasor might avail himself to Show More
