JUST FOCUS!

JUST FOCUS! is a VR experience that simulates what it's like to have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).  The game takes place in a high school psychology classroom, where there are many distractions to take your attention away from the lesson.  The longer you focus on one object, the better you can hear that single object (but the everything else, you'll  hear less). Try your best to focus on the lesson, as this teacher likes to hand out pop quizzes!

This (prototype) game was made in under 48 hours at MeGa Health Jam 2018 in Orlando, FL. Our goal was to raise awareness and inform people about some of the basics of ADHD.

Directions for HTC Vive

- To be done by someone other than the player: Press 1 on the numpad of the PC's keyboard to spawn an "intrusive thought" bubble
