Inspiration
To explore the misconceptions we may have about unknown places and people.
What it does
Build empathy through a 360 video experience
How I built it
We used the Ricoh Theta V to film and final cut to edit.
Challenges I ran into
Framing the story into the correct perspective without falling into stereotypes. Quickly planning out and filming in locations unknown to any of the devs. Engaging locals to participate in our video experience.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Being able to include a community in this case which was the Boys and Girls Club of Boston. We were able to connect and have a great time with a large range of demographics and the process itself become collaborative and inclusive.
What I learned
Not to judge a book by its cover. Technology has a way to connect us and immerse us into situations we would normally want to avoid due to our misunderstandings of communities we don't have regular contact with.
What's next for Strangers With Us
Explore more interactive manners to further explore this seem and create greater empathy and understanding. We want to create a better sense of community.
