Images of atrocities have become commonplace via the small screens of the television and the computer, and the even smaller screens of mobile phones. Is the viewer's perception of reality eroded by the daily barrage of such images? What does it mean to care about the sufferings of people in faraway zones of conflict? This talk explores how VR, with its newfound immersive capabilities, can represent and shape our relationship to the pain of others.

Speakers:
* Gabo Arora (Founder & President, LightShed)
