Hi there! I’m Guilherme and I would like to show you guys our latest VR project at Aerolito. We’re a futurism company based in Brazil, and we like to explore how XR technologies can benefit our future societies. So we’ve developed some VR experiments on education, gamification, healthcare and entertainment.
I’m personally a proud Unreal Engine developer and share nothing but love for this community. It’s a very powerful tool, developed by a company with such a broad perspective, I’m really passionate about us developers, Epic and UE! A great thank you to everyone who contributes here, to all educational videos, to those early days blueprint lectures by Zak Parrish, and to the community managers.
Our experiments have helped our students to understand how we can make a more positive future, some of our portfolio include a VR remake of old Atari games, a virtual drug named LS4D and **a VR experience to entertain children who are undergoing cancer treatment **(video in portuguese), you can find out more here. And this is our latest one, released for free on Steam to the general public, as somewhat of a statement on the same topic. I’m sorry about any bugs or lack of polishment, please keep this in mind as the work of a solo dev.

[FONT=lucida sans unicode]Purpose
Self-knowledge VR is a virtual reality experiment that aims to promote awareness on the benefits of self-knowledge to our brain. We present a series of tasks based on real-world psychological theories that collect and interpret your data while playing, providing you with insights about yourself that you can further explore.
Why self-knowledge?
It is known that mental health is culturally understated and while it consists on a social taboo it harms both people with mental illness and healthy people that could improve their wellbeing. Our brain is a dynamic biological organ subject to both healthy and harmful processes, such as fatigue, stress and our overall physical health. There is always a way to pursue a healthier life.
Virtual reality
Virtual reality is a powerful storytelling tool, and it can be used to immerse people in virtually any context imaginable. We believe that immersive technologies like this will continue to grow and acquire greater relevancy over the years, and it is our responsibility to develop softwares designed to positively impact us. Experiments like this aim to explore how health initiatives, as well as educational and cultural ones could benefit from this.
