This VR Take on "Red Asphalt" Will Terrify Teen Drivers

quote [ The four-minute video makes the terror of a deadly crash frighteningly intimate.

The company plans to roll out its full setup—complete with a motion-chair—at events like music festivals, and to work with police departments and school systems to get teens into the experience. For everyone else, the four-minute horror show is now available via VR channels on YouTube, Facebook, and The New York Times. ]

I don't know if this will save lives, but with a motion chair and headset, it should be memorably vomit-enducing.

Whenever I smell asphalt, I think of Maureen. That's the last sensation I had, before I blacked out: the thick smell of asphalt. And the first thing I saw when I woke up was her face. She said she'd fix my bike. Free. No strings attached. I should have known then that things are never that simple. Yeah, when I think of Maureen I think of two things: asphalt... and trouble.

Maybe they can figure out how to do this to deter teen pregnancy.

PTSD-inducing, maybe.

They always say that. It never does.

Yup, it will have the exact opposite effect if it does anything at all.

The only thing that works is a real wreck with real pain and real money. And that doesn't even always work. I'm a prime example! :)

This sucks. They need to learn how this is done - the horror PSA is an artform. Wales has a good example.
