Proposal
The idea I have for my proposal is a virtual reality experience that puts users on outdoor adventures with different personalities that will guide them and teach them about the different areas that they are in. Users will be able to choose from an array of videos with unique personalities who will walk through outdoor/terrain areas of the world as if they are with them through the entire journey. Using the GoPro OMNI, these personalities will record themselves walking through nature and other areas of the world. These areas include but are not limited to: nature walks, historical landmark adventures, natural phenomena that happens in many areas of the world, monument sites, and other areas of significance. This app will make a profit primarily on subscriptions, advertisements, and generous donations that will be apparent on the app’s homepage. Users will be able to pay for a premium service that gives them all-access to all of the app’s content.
Target Audience
This app can be used by anyone. However, the main target audience will be children with bed-ridden illnesses and other patients who suffer from similar illnesses. Many of these individuals don’t get to explore the greatness that is nature. Due to their illnesses, many children will never get to know what it’s like to camp, go on nature-walks, and see other landmarks with great significance. These videos will not only be educational but will also help these individuals explore beyond what their bed has to offer.
How it will teach empathy?
These videos are meant to give users the deep understanding of how important our Earth is to human survival. The main goal of these videos is to shine lights on natural phenomena that take place around the world. These videos will go into the importance of the area they are covering, and how protecting these environments is not only beneficial for humanity, but for the greater good of our Earth. This app will also promote an agenda to help raise money for cancer patients and other sicknesses that keep children from being children.
