The virtual reality experience improve reaction times and the numbers of people willing to attempt CPR


St John Ambulance has launched its ground breaking new virtual reality CPR cardiopulmonary resuscitation course in Melbourne.

The CPR module is the first of its kind, as the first aid provider explores new ways to teach people how to save a life.

At a pop up café at one of Melbourne’s busiest train stations, teacher Tim Smith is getting a lesson in saving lives.

Sitting on a stool, wearing virtual reality goggles, he’s oblivious to the bustle of human traffic around him, as he’s immersed into a digitally contrived emergency.
