Beyond Barriers is an exploratory visual storytelling project, combining 360° content with web development to create an immersive web VR experience. Through a series of videos, viewers are transported into environments where they can see and hear first-hand accounts of living and coping with a mental illness, as told by the participants themselves.
The conversational narratives aim to encourage discussion and address the stigma that often surrounds mental illness. The website also provides a list of resources, should viewers feel inspired to reach out about their own mental health, or learn more about the wide range of mental health conditions.
