“Interactive Empathy Reality" IER is a technology that combines Virtual Reality and generative AI. Users can immerse themselves in a VR environment to experience interactions with "another person" and achieve the goal of mutual empathy.

For example, a man can use this technology to step into the shoes of a woman and gain a real sense of, "If I were a woman, how would others treat me? How would their words, expressions, or actions differ towards me?" 
The characters in the virtual world are generated by AI using vast amounts of text and non-verbal data, allowing for natural interactions with users. The AI takes into account the user's real-life experiences and the characteristics of the target empathy subject, customizing interaction scenarios that are most relatable.
