โYou took me to all the places I've been.โ
A reminder that these experiences are not always about seeing somewhere new. Sometimes they're about revisiting somewhere that already means a great deal. ๐

โItโs like experiencing nature, a different wayโ
Thatโs exactly it.๐กWeโre not trying to replace the real thing. Weโre just making it accessible again for people who may not be able to get there as easily anymore. ๐

A very special moment with one of our returning VR participants at @KHHospice , who first took part in our pilot study in 2021.
It was incredibly heartwarming to see that she still has so much passion and love for what we have been building, even after all this time. โจ๐
โIโve been up there before, but never seen it from that perspective.โ๐ฌ A brilliant moment captured at @KHHospice , during which one of their VR participants explored Glencoe and the Isle of Skye from above.โจ๐

This lovely lady from Hilderstone Hall was completely engaged and loving her VR field trip to the Peak District. โฐ
She was fully absorbed in the moment, pointing at something she had seen above her with a smile on her face. ๐

โYouโll be in the doldrums and then you come and watch that and feel great.โ ๐ฌ
Her reaction says everything. These sessions offer a boost, a shift in how the day feels, and a moment of brightness when itโs needed most.๐

At over 100 years old, his first VR experience was a moment weโll never forget. ๐ฅฐ
The video took him back to Germany, a place he once called home. Watching that connection spark again was genuinely moving.๐

โIโve just relived my childhoodโฆ Itโs taken me back 70 years.โ ๐ฌ
His emotion was palpable as he took the headset off, a genuine reaction to reconnecting with somewhere that meant so much to him. ๐
