Character-Based Storytelling

'Helirun' is a virtual reality game using brain waves. The players can control the game characters by using their brainwave data, and they can also explore the basic knowledge about the brain and the brainwaves by playing the game. It also draws the interest of the players in neuroscience while playing. It also encourages the children, the main participants, to be interested in this content and at the same time help them have a better understanding of the brain and brainwaves.

We have briefly organized the lessons on brain science for even very young kids who visit the exhibition can easily understand and created stories and narratives to efficiently deliver the content. Considering that the main participants are children, we tried to put the basic lessons related to brain and brainwave in the stories of the game. The lessons on brain science used in the stories are as follows:

We designed characters and the surrounding environment which can implicitly deliver the stories.

A scenario is prepared to provide a guide before playing the game to enhance the participants' understanding of the exhibition.
