  1. This project is a virtual reality experience centered on Article 25 of the Declaration of Human Rights: "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care..."  The experience sheds light on the problem of homelessness in the Atlanta metropolitan area.  The user will experience a narrative story while virtually serving characters that are representative of Atlanta's homeless population.  The experience also includes information about current statistics and ways to volunteer to aid the city's homeless.

The Prototyping eNarrative Lab (PeN Lab) at Georgia Tech applies digital information design and interaction design principles to digital storytelling to create more complex and expressive narratives, focusing on emerging platforms like experimental television, virtual reality, and augmented reality, and on the intersection of storytelling with game design and simulation design.
