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.

For the benefit of educators, the accompanying case notes provide guidance on how to scaffold discussions and interactions with students to meaningfully explore arguments around the following issues:
(i) the duty of care that may be owed to the plaintiff in the given factual matrix
(ii) the standard of care that the tortfeasor should arguably be held to
(iii) whether sufficient causal connection can be made out
(iv) the extent of damages claimable
(v) the legal defences that the tortfeasor might avail himself to
