Feedback Report

By Natalie Lazaris | Head of Business

Virtual Reality (VR) is the name coined for any system that aims to allow a user to feel as if they are experiencing a particular experience using special perception changing tools. In other words, VR is an illusion of reality, one that exists inside a virtual, software-based world.


We live in a world where technology is in the forefront of everything. Therefore, the foundation believes in the power of making dreams come true during the 4th industrial revolution. Virtual Reality was introduced to keep the morale of the kids fighting life threatening illness during the pandemic and beyond.

It offers an escape from reality into utopia – a world full of possibilities and worth exploring for our dreamers which appeals to their interests. Places such as the world under the sea, or even wonderful destinations globally; and offer information on topics dreamers are often interested in such as a journey into the scientific; architectural as well as aviation world, just to name a few. The integration of Virtual Reality is a typical example of the use of Information Technology & Communication to ensure that the child’s mental stimulation and developmental milestones are achieved.

Virtual Reality is really a new communication platform. By feeling truly present you can share unbounded spaces and experiences with the people in your life. Imagine not just sharing moments with your friends online but entire experiences and adventures. - Mark Zuckerberg
