Stepping through the doors of VR

I believe that this VR experience is a perfect example of a way technology helps us. We get to see what it’s truly like for these people and children every day. I was shocked to hear that a 12-year-old girl wakes up at 4 every morning and goes to a job and picks cucumbers. This girl should be going to school and making friends and having fun, she shouldn’t be out in a hot field picking cucumbers. It just really shows how being a refugee disrupts everyday life. They know they have to survive and try to live a normal life but don’t know where to start. The VR experience was an interesting way to show people what it’s really like to be a refugee. I got to see what they see and hear what happened to them which really makes you feel sympathy for them. I did find the headset quite annoying, the picture was kinda blurry which made the words hard to read, and gave me quite the headache. However, despite that, I found the whole experience a great way to show people the lives of these refugees. You honestly get to see how these wars and conflicts have taken a toll on the innocent civilians. People need to keep in mind that the people who live in these war-torn countries are victims, that they need help.
