VRemedies - Radiotherapy Procedure Experience
This project is a Virtual Reality experience designed to introduce child patients and parents to Radiotherapy procedures before they experience the real world environment. A photo realistic virtual experience in the HTC vive of hospital procedures. Using the process of Photogrammetry and model building we created the experience inside unity and delivered with direct feedback from clinicians and play therapists.

We worked with direct access and feedback from hospitals, clinicians and play therapists to create a guided walk through of the Radiotherapy procedure.
Robot hospital staff to walk the children through the experience.
The rooms are currently being user tested as a method of Exposure therapy, desensitising people to the procedures and rooms and as a result lowering the amount of children needing sedation for these non evasive procedures.
