The Future Of VR & Younger Generations

WOU: Hi there Daniela, before we start, could you tell me a little bit about yourself and your background?

DANIELA: I always loved hearing stories! When I was young I worked in cast production focused on finding real stories. I learned that listening to other people I learned a lot about myself and I find it comforting.

This audiovisual work led me to discover the universe of electronic sports in Brazil. In 2014, I started working in a Brazilian organisation, INTZ esports club. I spent almost one decade working in this industry working with the main players in the market, I met many pro players, influencers, built amazing projects, and consulted for big brands and advertising agencies.

In parallel, my first contact with therapy happened when I was 14 years old. At 27, I went to understand psychoanalysis and lay down on a couch. I was experiencing the effects of psychoanalysis on myself and was loving it! So, I started studying it as a hobby in 2010 in addition to a series of other practices of alternative therapies. I am a person living a lifestyle of body, mind and soul since I can remember.

In 2020, I decided to transform my hobby into a profession. I entered a postgraduate course specialising in Lacanian theory, joined a bunch of Freudian study groups, as well as a supervision group and started to attend in February of 2021.

I am also a mother of two nice guys, an 18 years old and a 14 years old and I have experienced the overwhelming entry of technology at home, at school, in our lives, in an empirical way. I was concerned as any parent would be and it is such a joy for me to relate all these subjects to help my fellow parents around the world and try to contribute for better connections and relationships between parents and their kids regarding this field.
