Virtual Reality (VR) & Disability: New Possibilities

 

We’re thrilled to announce an exciting new addition to Share My Ability: a dynamic Virtual Reality (VR) experience! We believe in creating inclusive and engaging sensory experiences for everyone, and this new technology opens a world of possibilities for everyone! VR offers a unique and immersive way to explore, learn, and interact with the world, and we’re thrilled to share its potential with our community. 

What is Virtual Reality?
Virtual Reality uses computer-generated simulations to create a realistic, interactive experience. By wearing a VR headset, individuals are transported to another world – whether it’s an under the sea adventure, a fun gaming experience or an alien invasion! Anyone can interact with these new environments in a variety of ways, making it a truly immersive and engaging experience. 

How Can VR Benefit People with Disability?
The potential benefits of VR for people with disability are varied. Here are just a few examples: 

  • Accessibility and Exploration: VR can provide access to experiences that might otherwise be inaccessible. Imagine exploring the depths of the ocean, swimming with dolphins, or driving a race car, all from the comfort of our sensory play centre. For individuals with physical limitations, VR can open up a world of exploration and adventure. 
  • Sensory Stimulation and Regulation: VR can be tailored to provide specific sensory experiences. For individuals with sensory processing differences, VR can offer a safe and controlled environment to explore different sights, sounds, and even tactile sensations. It can be used to help regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, and promote relaxation. 
  • Cognitive Development and Learning: VR can be a powerful tool for learning and cognitive development. It can be used to create interactive learning experiences, helping individuals develop problem-solving skills, improve memory, and enhance cognitive function. Imagine learning about some of our world’s most fascinating sea creatures while virtually swimming alongside them! 
  • Physical Rehabilitation and Therapy: VR is increasingly being used in physical rehabilitation and therapy. It can provide a motivating and engaging way to work on motor skills, improve balance, and increase strength. Gamified VR experiences can make therapy more fun and effective.

 

Ready to experience gaming like never before? Share My Ability is thrilled to now offer FREE Virtual Reality gaming sessions for everyone aged 12 and up! Included with your general admission, our new VR setup will transport you to incredible worlds, where you can explore, compete, and have a blast!
