Episode 11-Using Virtual Reality to Enhance Inclusion

Have you ever had a dream that felt so incredibly real that when you woke up that you pinched yourself to see if you were still dreaming?  Well, our guest today Elaine Harris knows all about how virtual reality can be a transformative experience.  She is going to share with us how impactful virtual reality can be to help us integrate inclusion and equity practices into our behaviors.   

Elaine is the Founder of Golden Rule Technology, a firm that utilizes new technologies, design thinking, and innovation to bring fresh solutions to issues of bias and inclusion. Elaine has integrated experience in strategy development, insight generation, multicultural marketing,market research, and process analysis. Prior to Golden Rule, Elaine co-founded Breakthrough Marketing Technology, a business and marketing analytics consultancy.

Here are a few show highlights:

• Virtual reality can track more nuanced behaviors and patterns predicting how people will react and respond in real life situations.
• Virtual reality can be used as a tool to create empathy
• Virtual reality is a great tool, and needs to be coupled with self-examination and reflective practices.
• We can use technical problem solving skills to approach diversity and inclusion, equity and social justice.
