The Blues is an interactive VR-experience about panic disorder and agoraphobia that seeks to raise awareness and break stigma surrounding mental illnesses.
The user walks in the shoes of the main character, Julia. The user has to help Julia find the exit to her apartment and get to tat meeting in time. Seemingly simple tasks like brushing your teeth or making a coffee are interrupted by panic attacks. During a panic attack the field of view is scaled down until there is nothing but blackness. To counteract it, the user has to use the motion controller to regulate Julia’s breathing.
