In Mindstates the player enters the virtual world through an underground tunnel. From there, paths lead to worlds designed to represent anxiety and calmness. These large themed spaces were created collaboratively by students in the Advanced Collaborative Experience class. From either of those worlds, players can enter smaller spaces created by individual students in New Media 3D (NMC 483). Each space represents personal expressions or anxiety and calm. The hope was that this process would encourage students to explore ways of transitioning from states of anxiety to calmness in their own lives.
