Angst: The Panic Attack
iPhone / Education
Anxiety attacks are endured by millions around the world. Their suffering is unimaginable to peers and loved ones who struggle to know how to help them. Until now. “Angst, the Panic Attack” takes us through the agony of a panic attack and the relief of overcoming it in a raw yet elegant, interactive virtual reality experience.
The app uses Core Motion for launching environmental triggers based on the user's head movement to create a narrative that is controlled by where the user is looking. Each user will have a uniquely powerful experience.
This is not a movie, it is an interactive 360 experience that uses the cutting edge technology of stereoscopic video and spatial audio. It is an empathy tool to help people better understand the crippling panic attacks that are becoming an epidemic in today's youth, an educational tool for educators and parents wanting to help children who are suffering, and an important project supported by GoogleVR and the Child Mind Institute raising social awareness of panic attacks.

Synopsis -
It’s the day of the big science test. Your peers casually converse and prepare to do their best while you struggle to even pick up a pencil. As the test begins, your anxiety and fears kick in. The entire environment becomes an inescapable source of panic triggers – one after the next, sending you relentlessly spiraling into a claustrophobic tunnel of anxiety. Your only hope is the teacher.

Please note: The Panic Attack is not for everyone. People who have experienced panic attacks or extreme anxiety might not want to participate. However there are many who don’t quite understand how challenging it can be when one is experiencing a panic attack.
