The Documented Process of Video Production in the Creation of an Animation for Enhanced Understanding of Alzheimer’s and Dementia

DescriptionThis paper documents the creation of an educational video about Alzheimer's over several months. It touches on what went into planning and several obstacles that had to be overcome to reach the final project. Hopefully, the video can be a useful tool for generating empathy in people of all ages.

Simulating Scarcity & Engendering Empathy

Description

This paper covers the research details, motivation for, and process of creating a virtual reality (VR) poverty simulation and conventional paper simulation, and testing both for comparison. This was done for a Spring 2024 Barrett Honors College thesis. The resulting simulation is a VR resource scavenging game for one player set in the forests of Russian Karelia, rendered in a PSX style, simulating the resource scarcity of a rural hunter. This simulation was compared against a paper-based simulation of a rural Appalachian family to see if it could be found to be comparable in expanding the understanding of poverty for testers.
