PlaygroundVR
PlaygroundVR is a virtual playground for children in hospitals. In this playground, children can play, roll, run and climb just like they would do on a real play area. Even when they have to stay in bed. Children can play together with other patients or with family members when they are visiting and forget the hospital for a while.
Children can use their imagination to create their own games: the possibilities are endless in PlaygroundVR. It stimulates them to be creative, helps to relax and brings children in hospitals together.
