How can the group through a VR-simulation of heights give the public a better understanding of how it feels to live with a phobia?
We have specified our project’s main topic to be about mental sickness, which we later narrowed down to phobias. Our main task is to create and evaluate a realistic phobia simulation through Virtual Reality of the many harsh and horrible symptoms, that the patients undergo when facing their specific phobia triggers. We have chosen to study the symptoms and causes of acrophobia which is an extreme or irrational fear of heights.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how one can create a design, using Virtual Reality, that seeks to simulate mental illness, and thereby create an own-body experience.  However, this research, is focused on creating a simulation of social anxiety only. By analysis of self-conducted interviews with specialists and people who suffer from social anxiety we have further built our understanding of social anxiety. This has helped us in creating an optimal simulation scenario.

In our assignment have we been occupied with information availability. Our primary focus has been to optimize the information available for students, in form of events and organizations etc. We have created a platform, which helps students at Roskilde University to optimize their overview and improve the social relations on Roskilde University as well, through our idea. Our main motivation for this idea was our own experience at the beginning of this semester.

The common areas on the dormitory Korallen in Trekroner is the main subject of this paper, with the main problem being grave dissatisfaction with these common areas. The residents think that the common areas are dull, dirty and poorly lighted and they have tried to improve them on their own, but without much success. This paper will focus on the poor lighting, to try and improve the common areas, by redesigning the lighting system. This improvement will bring forth a physical design based on research done, about the residents, the dorm and relation between people and light. (…)
