Summary

Reach For A Dream is thrilled to announce the launch and introduction of virtual reality dream experiences. Through virtual reality the boundaries are bridged and children in isolation will be able to immerse themselves in a world that allows for escapism, creativity and freedom. The idea is not to replace the actual dream, but to make otherwise impossible dream experiences come true with the power of VR, ultimately enabling children the ability to dream.

Challenge

There are currently hundreds of children who are hospitalized and have no stimulation. They are isolated and alone. They are bored and have no way to escape their reality of their illness and current situation.

Solution

"Through virtual reality the boundaries are bridged and children in isolation will be able to immerse themselves in a world that allows for escapism, creativity and freedom. The idea is not to replace the actual dream, but to make otherwise impossible dream experiences come true with the power of VR and at the same time ensuring the safety of our dreamers, and ultimately enabling our dream children to dream." ~Natalie Lazaris, Reach For A Dream's Business Head

Long-Term Impact

Children in hospital will have a more positive and hopeful outlook, allowing them to want to fight their illness. A positive outlook will also allow them to receive treatment easier which will ultimately change the experience of their medical journey.
