Project Description:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>The Trolley Problem (https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Trolley_problem<\/a>) is a classic thought experiment in ethics. The idea behind this experiment is to setup a rudimentary virtual environment where a user is asked respond to the Trolley Problem, as well as its variants, using simple physical motions (like pulling a lever). The experiment would acquire data about participants\u2019 decisions as well as present soft inquiries to them about the motivations behind their choices.<\/span><\/p>\n

Project Type:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>This project is meant to conduct an experiment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interest:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>I am interested in this project.<\/span><\/p>\n

Device(s) to Be Used:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>The HTC Vive seems the like the best choice of device to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Things I Know How To Do:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>I\u2019m already familiar with the Trolley Problem, many of its variants, as well as a number of the motivations that are involved with the different responses to it. I have some experience with Unity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Things I Would Need Help With:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>I do have a programming background, but I certainly wouldn\u2019t mind having more experienced programmers. I have little to no experience with doing 3D graphics or animation.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
