So the goal of this project is to recreate some of the experiences that synesthetes have to explore this interesting psychology. A few types of synesthesia would work really well with VR. Chromesthesia, Spatial sequence synesthesia (seeing numerical sequences as points in space), Number form(thinking numbers causes a mental map of the numbers), and Spatio-temporal synesthesia(similar to number form but it&#8217;s a visual mapping of days, week,months, years, like a calendar).
