“..May happiness be with you always..”
VR HotLine, which is Non Profit Virtual Media Lab, has a crucial purpose of helping people overcome social issues such as suicide, school violence, mental health, discrimination and many more by experiencing a VR environment based on stories I have experienced.
Through this project, people who dealt with these difficulties in their lives will be able to have consolation by forming a bond of sympathy and sensing the sentiment of understanding. The community that emerges in this process could also give themselves a chance to dissolve their painful emotions while conversing with others who have struggled with the same issues.
On the other hand, people who have been in a position that hurts others at various moments in their lives will be able to take time for self-examination by reminding themselves what kinds of problems they could possibly make and what types of results could be made out of their choices through VR experience. Currently, numerous people, especially young folks, are highly exposed to these problems in multiple locations, including schools, offices, etc., and they are losing their lives from this painful experience around the world every 40 seconds. Therefore, this requires lots of people's attention and reveals these platforms and support on various media for our children, our family and whoever is around us.
The primary motivation that allowed me to build this foundation is my belief that no one can understand any pain without experience in person. Even though I had dealt with not only nine times of suicide attempts from the age of 9 but also experienced a mental disorder, tic disorder and PTSD for 15 years because of bullying, serious physical assault, sexual violation, and discrimination based on my gender identity in Korea, I was able to overcome these traumas through finding a proper answer of why I had these difficulties in such a young age (I described details of this on story section below). Therefore, I wholeheartedly believe I better understand people's emotions and which parts can make them feel solace and sympathy from the various mediums, especially for people struggling with the difficulties I mentioned above.
This VR experience will give positive energy to get out of painful traumas through a smartphone, computer or any technologies that can run virtual or artificial reality without any limitations in time and space.
