The genesis of our groundbreaking project emerged from a confluence of innovation and purpose during a Virtual Reality hackathon hosted by Facebook at the prestigious Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI). While our team didn't clinch the top prize, our idea garnered significant recognition and commendation from industry experts and mentors.

Inspired by the immersive potential of Virtual Reality and fueled by the pressing need for novel approaches in mental health care, our idea took shape. The hackathon served as a catalyst, igniting our passion to harness this cutting-edge technology for the betterment of mental health.

Recognizing the immense potential and uncharted territories within this burgeoning field, our team made a resolute decision to further cultivate and refine the concept. Hence, we collectively agreed to adopt this visionary initiative as our final year project in software engineering.

The allure of Virtual Reality lies not only in its technological marvel but also in the transformative impact it promises within mental health care. This decision was propelled by a shared belief in the potential of emerging technologies to revolutionize therapeutic interventions, coupled with a deep-seated commitment to address pressing societal challenges.

As we embarked on this journey, the confluence of expertise, passion, and the endorsement received during the hackathon galvanized our resolve. Our project signifies the amalgamation of visionary ideation born in a competitive arena and our unwavering dedication to leverage technology for the greater good.

From its inception at the IDI hackathon to its evolution as our final year endeavor, this project stands as a testament to our team's tenacity, innovation, and unwavering commitment to harness technology's potential for advancing mental health care

At present, our team stands at an exciting juncture in our project's evolution. Having meticulously crafted the Software Requirements Specification (SRS) and comprehensive documentation, we've laid a robust foundation for our endeavor in leveraging Virtual Reality for mental health.

With the strategic groundwork firmly established, we've now set our sights on the pivotal phase of actualizing our vision. The transition from planning to execution marks a significant milestone as we embark on the development phase of our project.
