Teacher's Lens Beta is an Oculus Launch Pad winning project that strives to mitigate unconscious bias in classroom education. This is the first virtual reality app to translate the Harvard Implicit Association Test (IAT) into a game play simulation. Future iterations will include game training modules using proven methods in immersive experiences shown to reduce social biases.
Decades of research have revealed that teacher expectations on student directly correlate to student performance with long term impacts on education, career, and overall life trajectory. Unfortunately, research also shows that teachers systematically have lower expectations of female and students of color.
When these biases are left unchecked, consequences impact the STEM pipelines and "School to Prison" Pipelines. Traditional methods of diversity training have been largely proven to be ineffective. Debias VR believes VR technology has capacity more effectively approach measurable, debiasing solutions.

奇妙なバイアス・トレーニングのようなもの。 私はそれを理解していませんでした。

Some strange kinda bias training. I didn't really understand it.
Absolut garbage. Really? This is based on science? No, this is based on the level of attention and the promptness of reflexes. Stop. Nothing else. There could be A and B instead of male and female and I would have had the same identical results! Pretend to see in errors or late answers any form of gender or race preference is leftist stupid and tendentious.
Antisocial Leftist Ideology?. This is known to be questionable science. And these sorts of anti-bias projects have a clear connection to potentially dangerous things: radical leftist ideology and identity politics. A central question becomes: is this a counterproductive project that comes from a corrupt place? Some users criticized the app in their review. Others disparaged that criticism in an unfounded way. This seems like a reflection of what we see in society: unscientific radical leftist dogma sprides like wildfire, and people will be defamed if they speak up on behalf of science or diversity of perspectrives. As usual, anononymous forums provide a more democratic atmosphere.
what even is this?. it literally tells you which color kid to pick for hard or easy questions. i was just associating the + and - questions with the kid that had the word "easy" in front of them and x and / questions with "hard" because it tells you to do that. i dont understand how this is a test of racial bias. also i think its broken anyway becuase it thinks "who is the 2nd president" is a math question and a number divided by a number isnt a math question.
This is not a game anyway. When I flipped through and noticed this app, I was intrigued to see a VR title that wasn't focused on being a game or storytelling, but instead an interactive learning tool. When I got down to the comments, I wasn't surprised. It was people offended by the sheer thought of anything addressing implicit bias in teaching. As if subconscious bias isn't an issue that all people face regardless of their race or religion. I immediately wanted to fire off a response of my own, then I realized that you can't even write a review unless you actually purchase the app. So these folks read the quite clear description of what it was and were TRIGGERED to download it just so they could complain. And in doing so, confirmed why implicit bias is so real and relavent in the first place. Thank you developers for creating this tool. I come from a family of educators and will be sharing it will all of them to help foster the discussion. Would be great if there is a GO version of this as well, as it's something that more people need to experience and dissect.
Great App for Teaching/Other Fields. I'm not a teacher, but I think that bringing the IATs into VR is a great idea. I think it could help train/help teachers recognize biases and try to be more thoughtful about it (and hopefully there are plans to go on to other fields also!) Hopefully some more tests will show up as well (https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/selectatest.html) and further information about how to help reduce the biases. Would love to see the research paper this produces to see if VR is effective at training. :)
Quick critique: the sound was a bit off and it was difficult to hear, it sounded very muffled to me. Would it be possible to remix?
