Inspiration

Our inspiration came from the connection between two people. How would it be if you could use mixed reality to read the nuance of their emotions and understand them completely?

What it does

EmpathyEase is an AI moderator that uses the Non-Violent Communication Framework of 4 steps, observe, feel, need, and request. NVC guides users to listen to their coworker's feelings and empathize with them. Then ask their needs and find requests that they can work towards meeting in the future.

How we built it

EmpathyEase was built with unity and shapexr. The networking done with normcore and meta presence. We managed the voice elements with meta's voiceSDK.

Challenges we ran into

Spatial anchors, multiplayer shared spaces, meta presence. Learning curve of new ai.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Everything works in syncing positions and using ai.

What we learned

How to use multiplayer meta presence platform and new skills in unity. Colocation is hard. How to use the voice sdk. Collaboration is important.

What's next for EmpathyEase
