"Eyeballing"

Another topic we chose to focus is the one linked to a new trend of alcohol misuse (eyeballing) to inform and raise awareness about its potential permanent negative consequences, including blindness.

Eyeballing consists in the direct pouring of alcoholic substances on the ocular surface epithelium; it is born in the USA and recently spread in several European countries.

We didn’t find dedicated apps, that’s why we think that new contents for VR should be designed to simulate the effects of eyeballing on the eyesight and the movements.

 

A proposal could be an app that has as opening scene the one of a person at a party pouring alcohol into eyes and then having to choose among various activities to be performed in several locations, such as dancing in the dance floor, going to the toilet, calling a taxi, texting a friend on Whatsapp, returning home by bus, etc., with all obstacles and difficulties connected to eyeballer conditions.

What do you think about?
