Using immersive video and virtual reality to put the viewer in someone else's shoes is becoming increasingly popular to raise awareness of serious issues -- recently we've seen efforts from the U.K. National Autistic Society, and Guide Dogs that simulate how it feels to be autistic or grow up blind.

The latest project to use this technique is a video from optical chain Lenscrafters, promoting its eye test technology to parents by showing them what it might be like for a child with a vision problem to be sitting in class. The video, by Olson, gives the viewer the blurred vision of child, who's unable to see the whiteboard or follow the teacher's written instructions. It reminds parents that one in four children in the U.S. has an undetected vision problem.
