A Truly Emotional VR Experience

For the last 36 hours, we set out to make an emotional experience using Virtual Reality as the main medium. As of late, there are have been an immense interest in investing in more experiences. Extreme sports, clubbing, getting an education are awesome, but we never consider our own feelings as something worth traveling. Virtual Reality gives an opportunity to the user to experience a situation in someone else’s shoes.

We originally wanted to use high-end equipment such as the HTC Vibe or Oculus Rift, however, we were not able to properly set those up due to hardware limitations. Therefore, we switched to the more usable Samsung VR. Although, at this point, we are not sure if we will be able to present a full VR experience during the showcase.

We would love to see this idea being developed to help people cope with stressful situations and to improve one’s emotional intelligence. We hope that simulations like these will make people rethink just how much a virtual world can help them connect with their day-to-day interaction.
