The VR experience emphasized a new way a viewing world issues, in this case, immigrants. The headset allowed us to experience the conditions of the immigrants as accurately as possible, besides from actually being in the current situation. The first video I saw showed a house, destroyed, brought to rubble. I couldn’t even bring myself grasp how difficult this situation would be for who’s ever home this belonged to, because I’ve never dealt with an event like this. I could of course understand how it would be hard for anyone in that situation. Nothing was recognizable of the house. All personal belongings in the house were gone or destroyed. Seeing this up close just highlights how terrible the lives of these people are.
The second video I saw was a group of migrants all on ship in the mediterranean. They were all tightly packed into one small area on the ship, while the workers controlled the rest of the boat, with plenty of room, much more than they needed. The migrants had no room to move around, which was definitely terrifying to those afraid of closed spaces. As I’m just spinning around, getting the whole view of the area, I always take great notice to the large group of migrants, as their position never changes, while the workers are constantly moving. The fact that the migrants were all kept on the lower levels is just that much more degrading. The VR experience is 100% the real experience, but it certainly provides needed realization of what’s really going on in the more troublesome areas in the world.
