The VR-powered intervention saw depression knowledge score positively associated with a neural response in the brain that is indicative of empathetic concern. The traditional video intervention saw the inverse, with participants demonstrating a brain-response which suggests a distress-related response.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">From DSC:<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">This study makes me wonder why we haven&#8217;t heard of more VR-based uses in diversity training. I&#8217;m surprised we haven&#8217;t heard of situations where we are put in someone else&#8217;s mocassins so to speak. We could have a lot more empathy for someone &#8212; and better understand their situation &#8212; if we were to experience life as others might experience it. In the process, we would likely uncover some hidden biases that we have.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>Addendum on 3\/12\/24:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inavateonthenet.net\/News\/article\/augmented-reality-provides-benefit-for-parkinsons-physical-therapy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Augmented reality provides benefit for Parkinson&#8217;s physical therapy<\/strong> <\/a>&#8212; from inavateonthenet.net<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inavateonthenet.net\/News\/article\/augmented-reality-provides-benefit-for-parkinsons-physical-therapy?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/iml\/image\/upload\/w_1024,c_scale\/c_crop,g_custom\/w_1024,c_scale\/v1710150229\/widgetdocs\/parkinsons-hero_k2bfbm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Immersive virtual reality tackles depression stigma says study &#8212; from inavateonthenet.net A new study from the University of Tokyo has highlighted the positive effect that immersive virtual reality experiences have for depression anti-stigma and knowledge interventions compared to traditional video. &#8230; The study found that depression knowledge improved for both interventions, however, only the immersive [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[329,354,190,224,851,72,210,848,359,391,419,248,217,480,293,253,11,824],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-90900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-24x7x365-access","category-av-audiovisual","category-assistive-technologies","category-augmented-reality","category-bias-diversity-equity-inclusion-dei","category-daniel-s-christian","category-emerging-technologies","category-emotion","category-health","category-human-computer-interaction-hci","category-ideas-teaching","category-relationships","category-research","category-society","category-sociology","category-virtual-reality-worlds-learning","category-vision-possibilities","category-xr-extended-reality"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90900","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90900"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90900\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":90960,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90900\/revisions\/90960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
