HTC Vive / Oculus Virtual Reality – Construct Studio / Well Played Studio
Developed for a client for use in rehabilitation settings, this virtual reality experience places drug rehab patients in either calming or triggering environments, along with trigger objects such as drugs and alcohol. The patient then undertakes various activities in the environment – activities includes breathing exercises and Tilt Brush style art therapy. While the patient is in VR, therapists control and monitor the experiences from their PC. In addition to these exercises, the experience needed a custom dashboard, allowing for additional third party virtual reality experiences to be launched and monitored by the therapist.
