Inspiration
Our inspiration is the women fighting Breast Cancer and putting on a brave face everyday to heal and make a speedy recovery. Through our simple project we hope we can help them in easing their mental and emotional issues caused as a side effect of Breast Cancer treatments and medicines. This VR Therapy project will help them relax, de-stress and also virtually 'travel' and explore while staying in their own comfort zone without any physical stress or exertion.
What it does
This is a customizable escape from reality that can be accessed through any kind of VR goggles. The program itself has menus to select what you want.
How we built it
We used echoAR and Unity and some C# to write programs for specific functions to work.
Challenges we ran into
We were having trouble trying to make the scenes switch from the menus screen to the actual settings that were chosen.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We learnt how to use Unity better and also learned a little bit of C# while creating this program
What we learned
We learnt C# and more about Unity's functionalities. Also had a great understanding of building projects and tech solutions right from scratch in a short span of time during the hackathon.
What's next for VR Therapy for Anxiety & Depression in Breast Cancer patients
We next will introduce interactive characters that can talk to a person, convert our project into a Smart App and bring keyword detection features that detect the emotions of a person and respond accordingly or call a therapist to make it a true therapy rather than just an escape.
