Explore a conference talk from ElixirConf EU 2024 where Kyle Oba demonstrates how Phoenix LiveView powers Operation Outbreak, an educational game simulating virus transmission through mobile Bluetooth technology. Learn how students participate in hands-on viral outbreak simulations, becoming carriers who can infect others, develop symptoms, gain immunity, and recover. Discover the implementation of collaborative features using Phoenix that enable real-time data collection and visualization of outbreak patterns. Gain insights into leveraging LiveView's messaging abstractions for rapid prototyping and see how the technology was introduced to the Fathom Information Design team while working with Operation Outbreak and the Sabeti Lab. Understand the performance optimizations made to support larger-scale simulations and witness how this innovative approach helps students comprehend virus transmission patterns and the impact of their actions on pathogen containment.
