The Isolation Solution

Social distancing policies enacted the world over during the COVID-19 pandemic have left many people socially isolated. Your challenge is to develop innovative solutions to combat social isolation.

Utopia

Summary

The social segregation policies enacted around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic left many people socially isolated. So we developed a modern technology method to reduce distances and a feeling of loneliness using VR (virtual reality) that makes the user see himself with his family and talk to them, and they can also change the environment. So, through this technique, the problem of social separation can be solved, as well as increasing family bonding through a unique experience.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Social isolation is worse than our expectations. It has many impacts on the human psychological state as the inefficiency of work and lack of focus and others. So, we chose to work on this challenge to solve some of its effects on our society. our solution which is a VR communication that acts as another world. In this world, you can see your family and friends in 3D not only as a video or chat so you can act normally when you see them like shake hands or hug each other. this strategy can help social isolators not to feel isolated or bleakness as you can see your loved ones very easily through it. astronauts can also use this strategy in their missions that take a lot of time on space alone. This strategy is so effective in solving isolation as it makes you not feel any isolation at all. 

How We Developed This Project

We chose this Because many people face this problem even before the appearance of COVID-19 as many people had to work in places that make them face psychological problems and that causes them to decrease the efficiency of their work. I t was a little percentage that had to face this problem but nowadays we can say almost all people over the world face this problem they can not travel to see their relatives, They do not go for picnics or places they use to go so we wanted to vanish this problem and make them feel like nothing has changed from the past and you are doing your activities as you used to do that will be by connecting 2VRs as a minimum number and 100 as a maximum number so relatives can meet each other and they can choose the place they want to be in by an option in the application, for example, they want to be in the beach we will make a sound of the beach and sound of the birds to make them feel they are seeing each other in reality as possible as we can. Now, this scene cannot be completed without NASA data as we need this provided views from Nasa although we can make it fun for people by making them see the space and see different galaxies that will be fun for people who love Astronomy. Our project requires C++, unity, and java language to make the application and insert all the places we have from NASA in the Options bar in our application. We did not complete our application also we did not connect 2VRs.
