Brainstorm

The Idea, The Implementation, The Outcome

How can we use VR/AR to help shed light on what it is like to be a Person of Color (POC)?

My main motivation towards creating this project is to provide an immersive experience for everyone and create a complex and highly in-depth VR experience that highlights the struggles of POC in order for non-POC to get a first hand look on what it is like to be a POC, all with the intention to live in a more inclusive society

What resources can I use in order to make this happen?

In order to make this project happen, I would need to use interactive 3D softwares such as Unity and Blender. Two 3D interactive softwares that specialize in VR/AR creation, allowing developers from all across create amazingly immersive experiences through the use of their technologies

What is the final look/where can I go with this for the future?

I am hoping that by gathering enough data through my participants, I can release a final version of this VR experience to any company that carries the technology to hold immersive training platforms that will allow all employees to gather immersive first-hand data from the participants experiences that will be used in order to further develop their own ideals and knowledge and have a first look on how these POC experiences can help create more inclusive environments in our day-to-day lives

Phases of Development

Creating a more inclusive work place

PHASE 1

Gather Info from interviwees at well-renowned companies as well as interviewing different POC from various backgrounds. Research, research, research

PHASE 2

Create a VR/AR environment using Unity and Blender, two 3D interactive softwares that I am familiar with

PHASE 3

Gather volunteers to participate in the project and gather voluntary data that can then be converted as an immersive diversity and inclusion training experience in a chosen companie's advanced employee training platform, it will be optional to experience it in VR/AR
