ConVRself | Virtual Bodyworks | Immersive VR Healthcare

ConVRself is changing the way you work through your challenges. See and hear yourself explain your problems from a third person perspective, and give yourself valuable advice as Freud, Steve Jobs or Michelle Obama.

How does ConVRself work?

Choose your avatars

Select a 'self' avatar, who could even be your own personalised 3D scanned avatar. Next, select a 'counsellor' avatar. Choose from a range of famous personalities, including Sigmund Freud, Steve Jobs , or even Michelle Obama.

Explain your problem

Embodied as yourself, you explain your problem to the counsellor.

Switch perspectives

Once you're done explaining, you switch perspectives and become your own counsellor. You will see and hear yourself talk about the problem. You get to listen to it from an outsider's perspective, as if talking to a friend.

Give advice

Listen to yourself, and then give yourself advice on how to tackle the problem, as if you were giving advice to a friend.

Switch back

Now, you're back in your own avatar, and you hear the counsellor give advice to you. Keep repeating this and have a conversation with yourself as long as you like!
