The project includes mobile VR complexes that reach the location where the evacuees and injured are staying. The VR complexes provide a diverse and broad solution including: anxiety relief, escapism, mindfulness, cognitive therapy, physical rehabilitation, education and experiential learning. The project has over 60 activities in hospitals, IDF bases, hotels, dormitories for people with disabilities and more.
"The field of virtual reality is relatively new to the people of Israel, because only a few years ago they started selling glasses to the consumer at home," one of the members said. "I believe that every professional in the fields of medicine, education and training is obliged to train in the field of virtual reality. This is a tool Unprecedented for healing the mind and body, I invite everyone to open their pockets and contribute to improving the physical and mental condition of our brothers in Israel."
