Samenvatting

This document shows the research and development that has gone into making an immersive VR experience. It shows what it is like to live with depression and how the simplest tasks become a whole workout. The game takes place in a normal house, where the player wakes up from their sleep and must leave the house. The depression is visualised with visual effects to make the depression more visible. Using VR technology, this game aims to create a relatable medium for depressed and non-depressed people. With this experience the hopes are that empathy towards these people is increased. This is needed as people close to these depressed patients can help with the treatment of said patients. With VR you can immerse the player better and show them what it is like to live with this mental disease. It is not the goal to make this game fun or entertaining, but rather informative.
