ABSTRACT
This paper presents a virtual reality (VR) application that allows users to view a series of 360 degree videos, depicting bystander intervention scenarios, from a bystander perspective. Bystander intervention is a commonly used training on how to prevent and de-escalate potentially harmful or violent scenarios [5]. This application enables users to witness, from a first-hand perspective, a successful bystander intervention strategy being used by another person. This paper discusses motivations for creating such an application by giving an overview of the state of the art in bystander intervention training methods. It also discusses the application flow and design of the created system. Additionally, a preliminary user study was conducted to gain initial feedback and user perspectives on the system.
