Introduction
It's the second day of 7-in-7. Today, I have created a look and feel prototype for a part of my thesis idea. 
Idea: create a dark environment in Virtual Reality with obscure bodies of people looking at their phones. Each phone shows some source of data collection. 
The actual experience would involve a first-person VR experience in which the user is inside this world and can observe people looking at their screens. 

The primary audience for this project is GenZ, who, as extends from the previous project, are thoughtful, online, unsure, identity conscious, and unique.
The purpose of this experience is to initiate a dialogue about the use of the internet and social media at that age.
