Synopsys:
Impulse is a revolutionary mixed-reality experience that takes the user inside the workings of the brain and the different ways it processes information from its immediate environment.
Supported by four poignant, embodied personal stories that feed into the experience, Impulse places the user in the skin and consciousness of a patient with ADHD, enabling them to better apprehend the complexity of this mental condition.
