Creating Empathy With Immersive Virtual Reality
b"We talk to the founding director of Stanford University's Virtual Human Interaction Lab, Jeremy Bailenson. Bailenson\\u2019s lab studies how virtual reality can affect empathy\\u2014how it makes you feel to virtually embody someone else. VR offers the ability to be in someone else\\u2019s shoes in a way that you can\\u2019t recreate in real life\\u2014and those immersive experiences, whether it be facing a day in the life of a person experiencing homelessness, or diving to the corals that are right now being bleached by climate change, have lingering effects on all of us.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/inquiringminds"
