\"iNJUSTICE_branding\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0Injustice<\/strong> is a three to five minute interactive virtual reality (VR) experience themed\u00a0around racially motivated police brutality. In Injustice , guests witness an act of racial\u00a0discrimination happening in front of them, forcing them to make moral and ethical decisions on\u00a0the spot. The guest comes face to face with the characters of the story, filmed with live action,\u00a0and interacts in the space with them directly using gaze interaction and voice recognition.
\nInjustice is an experience aimed at exploring the emotional impact of VR space versus traditional\u00a0film.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Injustice was created by Kalpana, a project team of graduate students from Carnegie\u00a0Mellon\u2019s Entertainment Technology Center who aimed to explore interactive storytelling and\u00a0build an effective pipeline for it. The issues of police brutality and racial discrimination are\u00a0problems at the forefront of awareness and concern for America. Kalpana saw an opportunity to\u00a0shed light on the situation experienced by a disproportionate amount of young African\u00a0Americans in the country by leveraging the immersive power of VR, creating a level of empathy\u00a0for the issue only possibly through personal experience.<\/p>\n

\u00a0When you put on the head mounted display to experience Injustice , you are placed on the\u00a0side of the street, waiting at a bus stop. You encounter a young black man, greeting you on his\u00a0way to the gym. He speaks directly to you and Injustice pauses, providing you with dialogue\u00a0responses that you say aloud to continue the conversation. The conversation and experience\u00a0flows around how you respond. You also have the option of looking at icons attached to real\u00a0objects in the scene, prompting him to comment on your gaze. As he leaves the bus stop, the man\u00a0is approached by two police officers, who stop and frisk him. As the situation escalates, you have\u00a0the power to call out, comment, and observe, and the situation adapts to your actions. In the end,\u00a0Injustice \u2019s story is told by you.<\/p>\n
