Richland Library St. Andrews
My Life Experience
Thursday, December 27, 2018 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Welcome to Richland Library's new My Life Experience Empathy Lab!
The lab uses virtual reality technology and simulation tools to cultivate empathy, and it offers users a chance to try on someone else's life and see things from a new perspective.
December’s lab will feature Notes on Blindness and other simulation tools.
Notes on Blindness uses VR to tell a story of life without sight. Each scene addresses a memory, a moment and a specific location from John Hull’s audio diary, using binaural audio and real time 3D animations to create a fully immersive experience in a ‘world beyond sight’.
Our simulation tools include gloves that simulate arthritis, and goggles that simulate vision impairment.
