About Finding Seattle
This project is being completed for the UW CSE Virtual Reality Capstone course led by Ira Kemelmacher and Steve Seitz.
The homelessness crisis in Seattle is continually and rapidly worsening. While most Seattleites have noticed this growing issue, most have not experienced homelessness themselves. Because of this, the general public lacks empathy for those who are experiencing homelessness, and believe false stereotypes about homelessness.
Finding Seattle will address this problem through a variety of experiences. We will focus on the personal experience of individuals experiencing homelessness through interactive scenes and a VR video. The user will find themselves put in various situations that a person experiencing homelessness would face on a daily basis. By covering a variety of different scenarios and living situations, we hope to emphasize the diverse conditions of the homeless population and show that there are various definitions and views of homelessness.
