Experiences That Will Change The World
We are proud to present a showcase of our ongoing selections for the VR for Impact program. All of these projects strongly represent the spirit and mission of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Virtual reality not only has the ability to raise awareness and empathy in novel ways, but also to provide unique tools which have real world life-saving capabilities. Below are examples of these compelling projects.
