This interactive simulation focuses on the classic handshake, one of the oldest forms of introduction and social interaction used worldwide. It also covers the fist bump, a modern option which can be used as an alternative in certain situations. This simulation details the “why and how” so participants can make appropriate introductions daily. Using hand-tracking as the primary navigation method, participants can leave their controllers behind and focus on the seven steps to a perfect handshake or the more informal fist bump. Participants receive feedback, visual guides, and audible cues throughout the simulation and can repeat the process as often as they like. Particular focus is placed on diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility, including seated or standing options. Gamified elements drive inspiration and engagement, while learning objectives include remembering, understanding, and applying position participants for success.
