Virtual Reality

The 4-minute virtual reality video depicts a day in a life of a student with depression.

The user interface consisted of a Google Cardboard VR headset attached to a smartphone.

DEVICE

Brochure

Participants read an informational brochure about depression depicting standard information about depression, including symptoms and information on how to support someone with depression.

Standard Video Control

The 4-minute standard video depicts a similar storyline as was shown in the VR video. The standard video is filmed from a third-party perspective with multiple takes edited into a final video, following the standard filming style of these videos. The standard video will be viewed from a laptop with headphones attached.
