This immersive experience was created during a graduate school course in the spring of 2019. Using 360 videography and virtual reality, I designed an educational experience by providing perspective to those building emerging technology solutions. This project is not intended to be comprehensive of visual impairments but instead provides perspective and teaches empathy to those building emerging technology solutions.
Experience in virtual reality
Read Reese Innovation Lab’s feature
The initial menu highlights the user’s two paths- they can choose to explore either color blindness or vision distortion experiences.
The user is presented with four different color blindness selections. They can select any option, learn about what each variant embodies, and explore the entire space in that visual application.
Upon selecting a type of color blindness, the user can explore the area in 360 degrees and observe the space in its entirety.
Each menu item creates a different visual environment for the user and ideally produces empathy for those designing and deploying emerging technology.
