What is Impulse: Playing with Reality?
Impulse opens a window into four distinct experiences of people living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Combining gameplay with first-hand lived experience the result is an immersive encounter with minds that can be exhausting and exhilarating, chaotic and creative. Impulse captures both the struggles and the inventiveness that come with ADHD.
Four stories from four very real people reflect on post-diagnosis life, shining a spotlight onto how ADHD shapes their thoughts, actions, and relationships. Impulse is an experience which invites reflection - to consider your own behaviours, to understand other experiences, and to gain an insight into why people act the way that they do.
Leanne turns her world into a game to escape boredom. Omar channels his restless mind into daring, risky heists. Errol creates a bold, adventurous persona to gain respect. And Tara is on the brink – of giving up.
Designed for Quest 3, Impulse uses mixed reality – blending the physical and digital - to immerse player into a gameplay with very personal narratives where you can experience the intensity, creativity and individuality of each of the four stories.
