TooCloseVR Workshop in Marktheidenfeld

04 Mar 2024

On 22 January, members of the HCI group visited the 6th grade of the Marktheidenfeld Gymnasium. Using virtual reality goggles, they experienced how distressing it can be to experience insults and threats, and what can be done about it.
The project TooCloseVR is iteratively developing an interactive virtual reality prevention measure with pupils and exploring its feasibility and use in schools and is indirectly financed by the XR-Hub Würzburg.

The local newspaper Mainpost has written two articles about the project and our workshop at the school.
