VR to prevent domestic violence
What if the aggressor could finally understand the victim’s perspective? Through this unique virtual experience, we strive to foster empathy and improve social behavior among aggressors, ultimately promoting positive change and reducing intimate partner violence.
How it works
The VRespect.ME experience allows the aggressor to see, hear, and feel like a victim, which has a significant impact on emotional, cognitive, and behavioral responses.
