Virtuous Reality Details
Virtuous Reality, is an Edinburgh based interactive media company that specialises in providing Virtual Reality (VR) experiences, specifically for those of us who are living with Dementia. We are currently working closely with Alzheimer Scotland, one of the leading UK charity organisations within this field. It is our hope to further study the positive effects and therapeutic capabilities, Virtual Reality truly has to offer. In the future we will be looking to branch out into other disciplines. However this is and will remain to be our main driving force for the foreseeable future. Currently there are more than 90000 Scots living with dementia, according to the most recent dementia report carried out by Alzheimer Scotland Dementia Research Centre in 2016. It's a figure that's expected to increase to double in a generation if current trends continue.On November 14th 2016, the BBC reported that Dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, has overtaken heart disease as the leading cause of death in England and Wales.Depending on the type of dementia, various treatments are used to help with symptoms but most do not slow down the condition's progression. Until a cure is found, the kind of care and support patients receive from carers, family, and friends to improve the quality of life is key. This is where virtual reality can help.Virtual reality is already being used in certain areas of healthcare for robotic surgery, medical personnel training, phobia treatment, and as a diagnostics tool.For people living with dementia, VR can offer relief by triggering memories and positive emotions, as well as providing stimulation among other applications.We look to personalize those experiences even more by asking service users what their favorite interest, hobby's, places they have always wanted to travel to or go back to.Using a mixture of aerial drone footage, cinematography and virtual reality applications of our own creation or licensed we look to cater to the individuals interests.
