VERVE VR

Welcome to VeRve VR

VeRve is a VR app which allows non-profits to create highly immersive experiences on the Oculus store to evoke empathy, attract donors and market their social causes. VeRve-As the name of our virtual reality app suggests, means enthusiasm and vigor for VR storytelling.

Storytelling

Social Causes

VeRve is a VR application that takes that problem into an immersive documentary game-like interface and engages the audience by way of VR storytelling to evoke empathy. The tools that we are using are technology (Virtual Reality) and Art (Storytelling/Game Design/Documentary) to solve the problem of exclusivity and impact within communities.

Fundraising

Often, non-profit organizations try to reach their donor agencies and individuals interested in volunteering their time or resources/ money by way of didactic, promotional video content that would “evoke empathy” and incite a connection between people who care and people who are affected. VeRve proves that a Human Design Centered approach which is immersive can help solve that problem for sustainable impact and use storytelling to bring people together.

While VR experiences appear poised to play a major role in how we create and consume digital media, the cards are stacked against non-commercial applications. Therefore, left behind are our underrepresented communities, public education, and non-profit cultural institutions. There is so much scope for using VR technology to document social justice issues.

Impact

An innovative app that would let our customers (non-profits) connect to their target audience to incite real social change, resources and finances for the communities they are passionately telling stories about. Often, documentary is mocked for not being able to "quantify" social-change.

"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see "
