Road to Acceptance, 2021-2025
Virtual Reality Game Experience
October 2021 - Present
“Road to Acceptance” is a virtual reality game experience designed to explore grief education and counseling tools.
The game leverages Virtual Reality Perspective Taking (VRPT) in a fantasy narrative to foster connection and understanding between the user and the narrative, which relies on Kübler-Ross model of grief.
The Kübler-Ross model outlines five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Each stage is represented as a game level, which requires completion through body movements and interaction.
Presented: Digital Games Research Association Conference (2024), IEEE Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health (2025).
