Memory Loss VR

Can virtual reality be used as a medium to excite empathy? This 360 video aims to demonstrate how it feels to experience memory loss.


The challenge was to make a 360 video, which can be viewed with VR glasses, in one week. Together with my group, we decided to use this medium as an empathy machine.

The video shows that you are in a room, you have some time to look around, and just as you got to know your surroundings the screen would go black and you would jump to another room, where this cycle started over gain. The confusion you feel each time you jump is ment to demonstrate the confusion people with dementia have.
