An Australian athlete has opened up about his harrowing battle with anorexia and bulimia, revealing he lost half his body weight and isolated himself from loved ones. In a powerful new video series, he uses virtual reality to illustrate the emotional toll of the disorders.
The athlete, identified only as James, used Google's Tilt Brush VR tool to create visual representations of his experiences. The immersive artwork aims to help others understand the mental anguish behind eating disorders.
This is the second episode of the three-part series 'My Mental Health In VR', which explores how virtual reality can aid in explaining complex psychological struggles. The series provides insight into the athlete's journey and offers resources for those seeking support.
