Inspiration

One of our team members has a phobia and we recognise that 20% of the people has some type of phobia.

What it does

Metamorph is an app that uses virtual reality technology for therapeutic treatment of phobias. The program starts with a shapeless form that is a pet. Through interaction with it, such as feeding and playing with it, it metamorphs to your phobia, such as snake, rat, bugs.

How we built it

We built a 3d model of a room in unity and then of the animal/phobia. Next, we built a simpler model of it for the initial steps, e.g. a circle for what is going to metamorph to an animal.

Challenges we ran into

Deciding on the VR platform, since this would have an effect on how people are going to use it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Being able to help people with a traumatising phobia through a gamified experience.

What we learned

What's next for Metamorph

To generalise the experience for all types of phobias, e.g. heightphobia. Additionally, to include a richer environment that would provide a full experience, e.g. verbally interact with the pet/phobia.
