Who is the ‘user’? A viewer (owner of smartphones)

Which systems are connected?

Smartphone system (database for content, information,) Human body (head and eyes)

How does the interface effect user and how does the user interact with it? The user has to put the interface on their face, covering their eyes. Thus, isolating themselves from the real world and focused on what is shown on the smartphone (VR). This is also the only way the user can experience the VR content.

After researching the stereotypes for "First Responders", I've noticed how most of them were very positive. Most of the time, they are portrayed as the everyday "hero" and, honestly, they deserve it. However, these stereotypes still have a negative effect on these people. One of them is their mental health. Because of how they are portrayed as superheroes (sometimes above) they put a large amount of pressure on themselves and this affects their mental health negatively. A research shows that many first responders will be less likely to confront their mental health for fear of being seen as "weak".

Through research, I found that blue light, while harmful for people with normal sleeping habits, can be very helpful to fix sleep deprivation. Through so called "Light Therapy", you can reset your circadian sythm if done consistently at a set time.
