RADICAL EMPATHY EDUCATION FOUNDATION INCORPORATED

Thousands of individuals have used our virtual reality simulation and learned how this could happen to anyone. A brief "highlight reel" since our inception: 2017: Gathered research from human trafficking subject matter experts. To learn how people use VR headsets, we created and tested ~10 different VR experiences, informed by hundreds of user experience tests of people that never used VR. 2018: Built and released TRAPPED: A VR Detective Story, our VR application that teaches anyone how someone could be psychologically manipulated into becoming a trafficking victim. In 15 minutes. Works on HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. 2019: Built and released TRAPPED: A VR Detective Story for an affordable headset, Oculus Quest. This was first used by the University of North Texas Health Science Center, a major medical school. They have used it ever since to teach their medical students how anyone could become a victim. As you know, 88% of victims report seeing a medical professional while they are being trafficked, so this is "Front Line" defense. And we need more of it. 2020: Performed multiple events with Operation Underground Railroad. One in Salt Lake City at their headquarters and one in Los Angeles at Tony Robbins' 60th Birthday. 2021: "Human Trafficking Essentials" online course releases in April. Fundraiser to provide free courses for deserving students launched in March. https://2021openhearts.funraise.org/
