VR Simulation for Student Depression

I’m creating an immersive VR experience that helps students who struggle with depression by letting them “visit” an unfamiliar school and quietly absorb its atmosphere. Rather than a game, this is a guided simulation: the user will simply walk the halls, step into classrooms, watch extracurricular activities unfold and, when they choose, strike up low-pressure conversations with virtual classmates and teachers. The goal is to let the learner feel present, safe and curious—offering a change of scene that encourages reflection and lifts mood.

I need a developer-designer team (or a talented individual) who can:

• Build a fully explorable school campus—classrooms, library, cafeteria, gym and outdoor areas—optimised for smooth VR performance.
• Populate the space with believable NPC students and staff who deliver short, supportive dialogue or ambient chatter, all triggered naturally as the user approaches.
• Layer in optional extracurricular “stations” (art corner, music room, sports court, etc.) that the user can observe or lightly interact with to discover uplifting stories.
• Use lighting, spatial audio and gentle haptic cues to guide attention and promote relaxation without breaking immersion.
• Package the experience for a mainstream standalone headset (Oculus/Meta Quest preferred, but I’m open to your suggestiions)

If this sounds like the kind of meaningful project you enjoy, let’s talk milestones and timelines.
