Escape to reality
The afternoon brought so much to the residents who otherwise may not be able to experience such wonders.
Claremont Parkway care home, in Kettering Northants, was full of wonder on Tuesday 12th April as they welcomed back Darren from Escape2vr and took the residents on an adventure into a world of virtual reality.
Virtual experiences provide a safe and enjoyable way to visit places they have never been to before or travel in ways they have not had the opportunity to.
The choices the residents chose ranged from travelling to Dubai and experiencing a birds eye of the great city, flying a seaplane across the seas, interacting with puppies at a puppy nursery, a safari trip and being able to get up close to the wild animals that were roaming about, taking a ride in a Lancaster bomber, driving an old fashioned racing car and racing round the racetrack, as well as a relaxing walk along the beach in the Seychelles, This was just a small example of the opportunities open to everyone that wished to have a go.
The afternoon brought so much to the residents who otherwise may not be able to experience such wonders, the social interaction with other residents as their shared experiences together.
