Transparent troubles is a project about invisible illnesses. This project an AR experience that will show people how common it is for someone to have an invisible or multiple illnesses. I have received many survey responses that I will use to help share this information.

 

I have many chronic illnesses that you wouldn’t know I had unless I told you. Many people do not realize this, and when they see a young, healthy-looking person who appears able bodied, parking in a ADA stall, they take offense to that. This has caused me to have people take pictures of me to post on social media, or have given me horrible looks and scold me for ‘taking the spot of someone who actually needs it.’

My exhibit has 6 people walking in Augmented Reality, which appear to be healthy humans walking normally, but you are able to walk up and tap on the person and a profile will pop up that will explain an invisible illness. That illness will be one that someone who completed my survey had. There is also a book that shows the survey responses I received. This is also so if someone is unable to view the AR they are still able to view my capstone.

A copy of the book is located below.
