VR can be more than a condo sales tool. My thesis demo places emphasis of simulating various health conditions to help increase empathy during the design process.
This scene was made using Unreal Engine 4 and common marketplace components. Custom post-process volumes and look-up tables (LUTs) were used to simulate color-blindness and cataracts.
Demo (exe) download will not be available due to foreseeable backwards compatibility issues.
