The VR film follows the residents and youngsters in the shopping mall of the Meerhoven district. There are tensions between the two groups and by stepping in each other’s world, by VR, more understanding is created. It all leads to a surprising outcome.
INTRODUCTION
The film was conceived and executed by the Bubble Games consortium. It is a case study linked to research with the aim of gaining insights into how to make use of design power and VR technology to counteract hardening attitudes and prevent polarization in society.
The film is just the beginning, Bubble Games will keep going! In the next phase students and researchers of Fontys schools of HRM & Psychology, ICT and Pedagogical Studies will use the of the experiment to design a scalable 'pocket size' version of the tool that can be used in the professional practice of community police officers and neighborhood and youth workers.
PROGRAM
The VR film will be screened in 2 shifts. After registration you will receive your timeslot in the week before the Dutch Design Week. Registration is required, only a limited number of places is available.
Sign up by sending an email to: bubblegames2022@gmail.com or by using the DDW ticket button at the right.
After the screening of the VR film there will be a conversation with experts (see below) and the audience about this experiment, its value for the domain of ‘safety & polarization’ and about the (im)possibility to ‘design for empathy’. The conversation will be moderated by Jeroen van Erp (Fabrique).
