ElenaVr

Inspiration

What inspired us to work on this project is our concern to popularize the new technologies in our community and to involve this technolog6ies in the field of health. First, we learned several things in the field of health and the fight against gender-based violence.

What it does

We will set up an education-oriented application on sexual and reproductive health (SRH). The idea is to break the myths around topics on sexuality, considered taboo in our community for long. We want to provide clear, reliable and verified information on sexually transmitted diseases while including a fight against sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). This idea will be implemented in a VR application in the form of illustrations containing educational information in the field of SRH and SGBV. The ElenaVR application will immerse the user wearing a VR headset in the 3D world, in which he will have several animated 3D scenes through which he can learn and take a stand for positive measures regarding SGBV and SRH.

How we built it

ElenaVr contains scenarios divided into modules (SGBV, SRH, STD, etc) and will be viewed randomly. When seeing a scene, the person wearing the headset will be asked to stop and do the deny action if they disagree with the practices they see on the scene or continue walking. In any case, ElenaVr will give clear information about the scene in audio or text.

In short: the person wearing a VR headset will be walking through a city and will see scenes, thinking and making decisions.

The application will be used by the whole community. Different organizations will be able to use it in raising awareness about SGBV and SRH.

Challenges we ran into

The frames in Blender were our headaches, a great challenge we had to meet.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The greatest accomplishment is to work on a virtual project but that will have an impact on real life.

What we learned

First, we learned several things in the field of health and the fight against gender-based violence. In sequences to be able to set up our application, Blender is a modeling tool that we must master. We learned that renderings can be done with lumion and many of the g6ratuits sites and addons can help us with our AR/VR development.

What's next for ElenaVr

For the complete realization of the project, a partnership with VR studios is essential for the integration of the application in these already existing boxes.

Technical and intellectual support for the team to improve the skills already present and lead to a more advanced product.

An investment of up to $20,000 (US dollar) to ensure the supply of materials, works and achievements over the long term while ensuring the support of the project executors. (Members and employees).
