Abstract
Adolescent bipolar disorder (ABPD) is a stigmatized condition [1] benefitting from early intervention [5]. Increased education and understanding of the condition could help with patients getting the treatment and support they need [6]. One possible way to communicate this experience to non-patients is through the use of dance movement and virtual reality (VR). This position paper includes an overview for a prototypical dance VR pathography based on phenomenological studies and future developments. Potential issues in deploying the prototype include the cost of equipment requirements and audience reach. Furthermore, there are concerns regarding protecting patient privacy and overwhelming viewers through an immersive experience.
