Like Papers, Please,   turns the tables with player perspective for immigration, with the user playing the role of a security official; in this case, the player is a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent in an American airport who must interrogate Muslim travelers trying to enter the US. In this augmented reality experience, the user has much more narrative control pertaining to the kinds of questions they can ask than most games, oftentimes being able to craft their own questions. The experience uses a Hololens mixed-reality headset to help users viscerally empathize with鈥� aspects of the Muslim experience in America. One particularly powerful part of the XR simulation is that the Muslim characters who users meet start out blurry and pixelated. It is only when users humanize the other character that they come more into focus. If the user is hostile or 鈥攖he character remains pixelated as the user does not take the time to truly see them.
