A travelling virtual reality and mixed reality experience that would arrive at Downsview Supply Depot, Toronto. An experience that will reveal the voices that often go unheard in the healthcare system, those with invisible chronic illnesses, such as long covid. This experience would acknowledge that this isn’t a topic most people would choose to engage with, yet it is directed at those without chronic illness to inspire empathy and understanding.

The experience considers mixed use of modern technologies using VR and MR, immersive lighting, smart watches. Also includes set design elements and props. There would be Apple Vision Pros uploaded with the narratives of real Canadians who have experienced Long Covid symptoms. The characters in the game have their own unique symptom set. Depending on which hospital bed you select you take on a different character’s health journey. Those who participate will embark on a gameified educational experience that will broaden one’s understanding on invisible illness and inclusivity.
