Recollection is a pitch project created by a team of six ETC students, whose goal is to create empathy and understanding for people with trauma by depicting it in an interactive narrative VR experience. We are working closely with the Pittsburgh VA to create an accurate representation of trauma as it affects a person\u2019s mental state and perception of memory. Our interactive experience is about Sam, a young painter who\u2019s suffered a car crash that killed Sam\u2019s mother. The Player navigates Sam\u2019s memories and experiences Sam\u2019s perspective through emotionally charged interactions and innovative graphics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal is to showcase this project in serious games festivals and open dialogue about the nature of trauma, and its effects on the people in our lives and our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here our some of the prior works we are taking inspiration from: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
