VR Journalism Prototype
VR Journalism Application Demo
This is a collaborative project where the team identified certain problems in the existing media environment. The problems are as follows:
- It is difficult to form a critical, objective point of view from current means of consuming “breaking news” as they happen;
- Media’s perspective can alter the audience’s view.
Keeping these in mind we created a ‘HMW’ statement, ‘HMW create a platform that would engender a sense of empathy in the eyes of the viewer — objective, immersive, engagement, first hand experience, more critical towards the situation’
This product is an exploration of the relationship between technology advancement, VR in particular, and journalism. What we try to enable and encourage is neutrality in reporting – having the audience see directly through the reporter’s perspective, and form their own opinions.
For the duration of this project I along with one of my teammates were responsible for the creation of the interface of the final prototype.
