Fight Depression

TEAM MEMBERS

INSPIRATION

I have struggled with depression during my school days and initial college days. I mostly spent time in my room. Doctors always advised me to go out and interact with nature as it would make me feel better. But I didn't feel like going anywhere. I understand this is quite a problem with people fighting depression and anxiety. Through this project, I have tried to give that peace of mind through nature to all the people fighting out there.

DEVELOPMENT

Microsoft Reality Toolkit along with Unity is used to create this project. Sounds and prefabs were taken from the unity asset store.

CHALLENGES I FACED

Since MRTK3 is released only a few days ago, making myself familiar with all its controls was a bit challenging. I also interacted with people currently fighting depression and tried to understand the environment that will help them relieve stress. Doing this under given time constraints was difficult.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Depression has been a major mental health issue among people of all age groups. I am proud of finding a way to help people who struggle with depression and stress in their daily life.

WHAT WE LEARNED

Some of the things that I learned, were about growing as a person during this project. I interacted with so many people and tried to understand their concerns which helped me to build this project. This has made me more aware of my health and the health of people near me.

WHAT'S NEXT

I am trying to develop on a worldwide level so that more and more people can access this. Also, I am trying to create more environments that will help people fight. I am going to make this project available in hospitals near me so that it is under the reach of people who need it.
