We aim to provide a compelling virtual reality experience that helps users experience the daily challenges of people with sensory issues. In the story we designed, users need to catch a taxi and get to a job interview on time. To achieve this goal, they must deal with hypo- and hypersensitivity symptoms, and interactively overcome them. Our demo encourages empathy and awareness of the challenges faced by people with sensory issues.},
