● Learner control and self-determination ● Self-expression and creativity and drives intrinsic
motivation ● Role-playing in engages the participant in a cycle of
practicing change ● Immersion instills flow or a sense of timelessness and
focuses on the game at hand
Engagement Adds Value

Inside the Brain - Tech Challenges● The brain is somewhere between tofu and yogurt. Made significant
areas “solid” colors to help define them.
● Dark areas “gray matter” - collections of cells with functions. Too many, we had to pick and choose
● White axons – wire-like communication pathways for electrical impulses. Eliminated to give space to move.
● It’s SOLID. Used a dissolve effect to see past/through structures to get a better overall picture.

– Photogrammetric scan, remeshed– Zbrush to create “shells”– Remeshed to add or subtract detail depending
accuracy and Rift vs Go● Added content from fMRI scans, added additional parts
of the brain, and added pathways

Role-playing in VR engages the participant in a cycle of practicing change by: Initial self-reflection Taking action Post-action reflection Conclusion/outcome Planning that promotes longer-term real-world
behavioral change
Role Play Adds Value
