Probably the single most important part of our whole arcade is actually the software

we use to run the arcade.

When we first launched, we were timing things with stopwatches, we were having to go over

to the stations and switch the games from Brookhaven to Arizona Sunshine.

Once we had 10 stations, you'd imagine it was just a total nightmare.

We had to have a lot of employees on staff all the time and customers were having to

take the headsets off, ask for help, and it just wasn't a great experience.

When we started using Springboard VR here at the arcade, it was a total game changer.

Not only did it create a great customer experience where people could put the headset on and

pick and choose their games, they could see how much time they had left, they could call

for help.

All that, but also for employees.

It let them monitor and manage all of our stations in a really easy to use way, where

they could see exactly who was in what station, how much time they had left, and so they could

manage the whole flow of the calendar.

So when things got busy, they're able to see who was almost out of time, and who just started

and so they knew exactly what stations were going to be available.

Not only that, but the booking feature is absolutely a game changer because now customers

can actually just book on the website, pay for it, and when they walk in they're already

in the calendar.

That reduces a huge amount of a load on the employees and it lets them show up, immediately

get into their station and not have to wait in line or deal with any of those other issues.

When a customer first walks in to your arcade, and they put that headset on, that is the

first time they've ever been in virtual reality and for a lot of arcades it's not a great

experience.

When we first started it, it was pretty terrible.

They'd put it on and you saw all this steam home, and when something would break or the

game would crash so they wanted to switch, they had to pull the headset off and so Springboard

VR has been huge for us, because when that customer put the headset on for the first

time, they're in this beautiful environment that's really interesting to look at, this

fantasy world.

They've got all the games.

When they hover over the game titles, the video pops up so they can see what they're

about to play.

They can pick and choose a game and easily switch back and forth between them.

Not only that, but there's a tutorial, so instead of our employees having to spend 15

minutes explaining all the buttons and then walking them through things, there's an interactive

tutorial where they can click on it and immediately understand how to play, how to use the controllers,

how to switch in between games, without the employees even having to be present.

I highly recommend you looking into some kind of GameWatcher software for your arcade.

It doesn't have to be Springboard VR, I know there are other ones out there, but that's

been the one that's really worked well for us.

Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Software), University of Sydney - Duration: 2:56.

Today, we interact with information in ways never thought possible - all through the ingenuity

of software engineers.

At the University of Sydney, you'll be coding from day one, learning how to build and maintain

the software of tomorrow, shaping the way we work.

Software engineers have a very broad spectrum of work.

They take care of building very safe and reliable systems; from autonomous cars and planes,

to biomedical systems on which the health of thousands of people depend.

I chose to study software engineering because I enjoy studying science, and also, I love

building things.

It's not just about coding all day, it's not just about studying theory in the lecture

or in the classroom.

It's also about developing team work and communication skills.

It's also about actually applying what you learn to the real world.

Throughout this four year degree, you will learn the foundations of software engineering,

from programming languages and algorithms to data structures and systems modelling.

Hone your skills with optional majors such as: Computer Engineering, Power Engineering

or Telecommunications Engineering.

Internship placements throughout your degree will provide give you with vital industry

experience in this dynamic field.

Our reputation with industry partners is good as it allows us to invite guests into the

classroom and have them pitch real-world problems that requires students to use their software

skills to solve them.

These solutions can then be assessed by a panel that includes the industry partners,

who provide our students with important feedback.

Another fantastic opportunity was a Hackathon that was hosted in the University of Sydney

but was actually run by the government, and students were actually able to use data analysis

techniques that you'd learn in the classroom and apply to a real-world data set.

The end result is that we create framework that hopefully can reduce road side fatality.

Everything from project management approaches to software architectures.

Software engineers have to develop skills for building systems that are highly secure

and very, very reliable.

I work for Covata in the data security space.

So I'm involved in delivering software to our customers, installing it, maintaining

it, supporting the customers.

Data security was not an area that I expected to get into.

Forever evolving companies are becoming more aware they need to look after their data security.

In my career I've probably learned, now, over the 10 different languages, and at university

it let me build on the core principles that I need to use in my career.

We are in a world of complex problems, and complex problems require complex solutions,

for them we need interdisciplinary approaches.

The University of Sydney has the most interdisciplinary approach to teaching software engineering.
