In times of having the need to pivot to virtual technologies to communicate critical messaging, we wanted to share a case study of a VR application we created to help communicate the positive effects of policy change in under-served communities. To make this vision come to life, we build an Oculus expereince demonstrating five different sets of scenes that showed the detriments of no policy change, and then identical environments with the positive effects of policy change relating to items and infrastructure that affect the social determinants of health. In only 3 minutes in VR, this project effectively contextualized the importance of implementing positive policy change to members of Congress.
