## What is Life Vest App?

Will your plane fly over water? You must be able to wear a life vest!

When a plane needs to perform an emergency water landing (ditching), passengers must be able to quickly wear life vests to survive.

The Life Vest app, created by the Human-Computer Interaction Lab at the University of Udine, is an interactive game that allows you to face the danger of a water landing in a 3D experience.

Through three different game levels, you can interact with the game character to make it wear the life vest properly and to hopefully jump out of the plane alive. You can also face time challenges and compare your results with those of your friends and other players.

The 3D model of the life vest is an high-fidelity reproduction of a real vest used by many airlines. 

However, the ideas and suggestions contained in the Life Vest app are NOT intended as a substitute for the information provided by the airline you are flying with. When you are on a plane, always follow strictly all the instructions provided by the airline and its staff.

### 5/5 — This is amazing!

*2024-03-19*

I love this game just like prepare for impact and here are some ideas!
1. I would like to see the option to change your life vest color then you can have any color you would like!
2. This game needs updates I like it a lot but it never gets updates and I would like to see more updates. 
3. Lastly I would recommend some options for the plane like have the option to wear a oxygen mask with it because I’ve never seen that in a game before!

### 4/5 — Great game! 👍

*2023-12-17, version 1.0.4*

One of the coolest! And weirdest game of all 😅 It really helps to let you know how life vests work like when lights automatically turns on of your life vest when in water or you could manually inflate the life vest by blowing a tube, and more! There is even a discovery of the vest to know how it still works. A time challenge to know how to quickly get the life vest, and a tutorial how life vests work! The guy even makes weird things like beatboxing with his legs and weird noises 😂

### 5/5 — molto buona

### 5/5 — Very good
