Abstract
This poster presents the initial stages of an investigation of a realistic virtual reality scenario aimed at increasing the compassion people feel for people that have suffered a stroke. A Bespoke Virtual Reality environment was developed using the UNITY 3D system, expanded from previous working methodological environments. A scenario was implemented within this environment which was then pilot tested by a cohort of nursing students with positive results.
