As Liam, Alexandra, and Emily continued to develop "Empathy Engine," they realized that conversations between characters were crucial in shaping the narrative and evoking empathy. They decided to focus on crafting meaningful dialogue that would allow users to connect with the characters on a deeper level.
In one of the VR experiences, "A Conversation with Maya," users found themselves in a virtual café, sitting across from Maya, a young woman who had recently immigrated to a new country. As users engaged in conversation with Maya, they learned about her struggles, hopes, and dreams.
Liam, Alexandra, and Emily designed the conversation to be dynamic, allowing users to ask questions, share their own experiences, and receive responses from Maya that were both empathetic and thought-provoking.
As users interacted with Maya, they reported feeling a strong connection to her story and emotions. Many users shared that they had gained a new perspective on the immigrant experience and felt more empathetic towards those who were going through similar challenges.
