A virtual reality simulation designed by a University of Oregon (UO) professor could help spur people to environmental action.<\/p>\n

Participants in Project Shell don a virtual reality headset and take on the body of a loggerhead sea turtle, sporting flippers instead of arms. During a 15-minute immersive experience, they journey from a hatchling to an adult turtle, dodging hazards like ships and wayward fishing gear.<\/p>\n

\n
Participating in the simulation increased people’s empathy and concern for environmental issues, new research shows.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Embodiment of non-human bodies is a powerful tool that environmental storytellers can use,” said Daniel Pimentel, a professor in the UO’s School of Journalism and Communication who led the work. “I hope that this experience can help raise awareness and hopefully engage the public in a way that trickles down to more support.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
