Abstract or Description

This presentation will share the in-progress designs and research surrounding an interdisciplinary project to create a virtual reality-based “empathy game” designed to teach future counselors and others about the experience of living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In addition, we will share literature that is being used to support the development of this project and current trends and issues regarding virtual reality research and implementation, especially with regard to “empathy” and “serious” games.
