PROJECT ABSTRACT

+

Developed for mainly troubled high schoolers, our product strives to have a positive impact on today’s youth, using a virtual reality “superhero” experience. HUE LENS is a VR experience, where children can live out their superhero dreams and aspirations by putting their superpowers to good use– all for the greater good. By completing missions based around rescuing others, the “prosocial behavior” will help high schoolers garner more empathy and a more helpful nature. In addition, it contrasts against the flurry of desensitizing content in our media. Studies show that choices made while using VR can spill over to reality, and empathy and prosocial behavior is a trait not typically associated with video games or virtual reality. HUE LENS endeavors to go against this preconceived notion, and help nurture positive humanity traits in our new generation.
