A new experience produced by the BBC examines the personal repercussions of brain trauma from different perspectives.
Is Anna OK? is a poignant VR experience based on a true story. Anna and Lauren are identical twins. For two decades these young women were as emotionally and psychologically close as two people can get.
But, in one fateful moment, their relationship is thrown upside-down. Anna has an accident, which leaves her in a coma. When she finally wakes up, her life, as well as Lauren’s, are changed forever due to a resulting brain injury.
In Is Anna OK?, you explore an emotional story from both sisters perspectives as you piece together Anna’s fragmented memories and learn whether or not these two young women can pick up the pieces of their lives.
Using extracts from months of interviews conducted by BBC News reporter Camila Ruz, the experience features narration from both of the twins, allowing each sister to explain her side of the story. Users explore fragmented memories, find clues in the objects around them, and generally immerse themselves in day-to-day world of this inseparable pair.
