Dre, a non-binary person seeking pregnancy, Mr. Chen, an 80-year-old Chinese American, living with his bi-racial family, and experiencing elderly abuse and neglect, and Ana Luisa, a single mother and a recent Mexican immigrant experiencing intimate
partner violence.
The project consists of three virtual reality miniseries, 6 episodes each. It was awarded a $6.4 million grant from the Ohio Department of Medicaid, administered by the Ohio Colleges of Medicine Government Resource Center to explore issues of cultural humility within the healthcare system creatively. Ohio University partnered with Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) School of Medicine, University of Toledo (UToledo), MetroHealth, and Equitas Health in developing the project; it was produced by the Game Research and Immersive Design at OU and directed by Carrie Love.
