Space crime in VR

Research project about harassment in space

Overview

This project was developed as part of my employment at the BMS Lab for a professor to research the topic of crime in space. For this scenario a user in VR is put in the situation of being verbabally harrassed while acting as a scientist on a space station. They endure the harrassment and then walk through the space station and perform a simple task at the end.

This VR project lays a foundation for research.
