College of Engineering Unit:
Our main project goal is to use Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence to provide personalized treatments for patients with various mental health issues. We want to specialize in tailoring therapy/treatment sessions to specific individual needs, which will reduce the duration of therapy which in return reduces the overall cost of therapy. This will entail the users entering a virtual environment and overcoming their fears in a variety of terrain. The minimum viable product will offer to connect the user with an immersive environment. It will allow the user to interact with the virtual environment via hand motion sensors. The environment will interact back with the user via movement, sound, and even offering advice. The main features will be hand motion tracking, interactive objects, interactive NPCs, immersive sounds, and realistic environment.
