Virtual Reality Progress Feedback

By Natalie Lazaris | Project Manager

Virtual reality has stretched the foundation’s horizons to what is possible for the future. Virtual Reality was introduced to keep the morale of the kids fighting life threatening illness. VCR enable the kids to escape their world and experience dolphins, airplanes and rollercoasters while they are still confirmed in the comfort and safety of their hospital bed.

Virtual reality it is a three-dimensional environment created by a computer that is designed to be realistic and immersive. Usually, a person puts on a headset to see and hear this all-encompassing artificial world. Just as in real life, the perspective and view changes as the body moves. Virtual Reality also has the capability to connect the children’s dream in virtual reality, the kids can join one another on an adventure and even interact with family and friends elsewhere.The foundation has also equipped some of the “Dream Rooms” with play zones filled educational toys – in other pediatric wards around South Africa.

This is the feedback from one of our dreamers who has experience Virtual Reality “The headsets make you forget that you are in a hospital.“Thato said he went to this incredible place and the experience was real. According to our dreamer the experience brings a sense of peace, happiness and joy.”
