In collaboration with the FIU, we embarked on an innovative project to harness the power of storytelling with a virtual reality experience (VR) for their student community. Through a creative concept developed by our team, we crafted a captivating VR experience that transported students into an abstract space where they could connect with the powerful testimonies of Holocaust survivors.

In this immersive journey, students were enveloped by 3D spatial audio, allowing them to truly live in the moment as they listened to these remarkable stories. Our focus was creating an impactful auditory experience that would deeply resonate with each individual. Through this unique approach, participants had the opportunity to learn about 8 Holocaust survivors and gain a profound understanding of their experiences. As an added element of engagement and empathy-building, users were able to record personal voice messages for the survivors, fostering a sense of connection across time and space.

This project exemplifies how XR technologies can be utilized not only for educational purposes but also as a catalyst for social change.
