RespectRespect — For who I truly am is a virtual reality serious game about raising awareness of bullying. Players interact with a student, but the system deliberately narrows the available replies until it leads them into offensive behaviour. The experience then confronts them with the consequences of their actions, using discomfort as an educational tool.
