Nottinghamshire Hospice

We ran a pop-up virtual reality installation at Nottinghamshire Hospice themed ‘Adding Life to Days.’ The experience allowed residents to get out into nature and enjoy the landscape featuring mountains, a pond, and a meadow, encountering birds, butterflies, bees and mammals along the way and taking in the sights, sounds and smells of the countryside.

Feedback was phenomenal. Clinical Nurse Specialist Liz Morgan reported, “I really feel that lots of patients benefited from this and felt a sense of wellbeing, it was extraordinary to see some patients, especially those with neurological conditions and impaired mobility visibly relax as they wandered through the meadow exploring. We noticed how patients’ postures improved, their shoulders lifted as they looked round and this improved their lung expansion. Improved posture, breathing and creating interest for people helps improve both physical and mental wellbeing. A great project for those who can’t naturally get the benefit from walking through the countryside.”
What amazing feedback and proof that immersive technology is enjoyed by everyone.
