"The Interview" uses VR to put you in the role of a caseworker in an immigration office. It is your first day on the job and a supervisor with more experience will guide you through the day. You will interview four Afghan asylum seekers. At the end of each interview, it is your job to decide if the applicants can stay or if they should be asked to return to their country of origin. How easy is it to make that decision when the person is sitting in front of you in the same room?
