Virtual Dawn

The Virtual Reality Pride Parade

The ERA-VR project, led by the University of Helsinki in collaboration with Virtual Dawn, aims to offer ODDfest attendees a unique immersive virtual Pride experience as part of a scientific study.
Pride is an international human rights movement that promotes equality, visibility, and rights for sexual and gender minorities. Pride events and symbols, such as the rainbow flag, celebrate diversity and oppose discrimination, uniting supporters for the rights of these minorities, regardless of their gender or sexual identification.

Since the experience is also part of a scientific study, we ask you to understand that we will gather some data from you. However, this anonymous data will be collected only for research purposes and cannot be linked to individual participants. The experience lasts approximately 15–20 minutes.
