Synesthesia is a condition that provokes curiosity, but while often talked about as an interesting and even desirable condition, people\u2019s actual experiences are diverse, ranging from enjoyable to overwhelming. Although other VR projects have tried to give people the experience of synesthesia, ours aims to bring diversity to this body of work and represent synesthesia as an individual and multiple experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Users will experience a variety of synesthesia experiences. We plan to represent real people\u2019s experiences with synesthesia in order to show the diversity of the condition. Because there are many types of synesthesia, we are considering either trying to represent a few different types (such as grapheme-color, sound-color, etc) or to give a few different experiences of a single type to show that synesthesia is not a single condition. Using the Hololens, the user will experience colors, for example for sound-color synesthesia, projected over their environment in order to most closely represent synesthesia. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In an addition to a likely fun experience, we want users to take away a better understanding of the condition and people\u2019s experiences of it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Concept art<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Equipment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Hololens<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What we think we know how to do as a group<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some Unity experience<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some programming experience<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>What we don\u2019t know how to do<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unity for VR specifically<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Working with the Hololens<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>First steps<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Researching synesthesia and other experiences that have been created about it <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Talking with synesthetes about their experiences<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Determining which types of synesthesia are most possible and interesting to try to create in VR<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Learning more about the Hololens<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Team Name: Multicolored Melody Group members Brandee Easter, Sunny Shah, Jamie Artin, Sara Bonefas Project Description The purpose of the project is to give the user an experience of synesthesia.
