- Abstract
- This paper will first seek to develop the pedagogical framework for message design in virtual reality, noting its potential for promoting education and empathy. I discuss relevant communications theory and practice; namely, cognitive elaboration, narrative transport, spatial presence, perspective taking and interactivity; and describe how virtual reality can uniquely combine these tools to effectively connect with and move audiences. After establishing this pedagogical foundation, this paper presents a virtual reality project that employs the tools discussed, with the goal of providing education that elicits empathy and improves providers’ empathetic communication with trauma patients.
