Project Description
Project Description
VERITAS is a training simulation designed to improve the ability of law enforcement professionals to detect deception. VERITAS uses gamified mechanisms and live-action video to provide two simulated interviews where learners must identify true and deceptive statements.
VERITAS draws on the latest research into deception detection and cognitive bias. As learners proceed through the simulations, they'll be asked to identify which statements are factual or deceptive, why they made that choice, and how confident they are in their decision. After making their decision, learners are given positive or correcive feedback and additional insturuction on how to identify deception and avoid common cognitive biases.

My Role
My Role
I was the primary instructional game designer for VERITAS. I was in charge of defining the structure of the simulation. I worked with subject matter experts to help define the learning content and record the live-action videos with actors. I wrote and refined feedback messages. I worked directly with developers to ensure that the simulation worked as intended and that the user interface was intuitive and functional.
