Bowlers to Veterans Link has awarded a $250,000 grant to the National Association of State Veterans Homes for virtual reality content and equipment.

'MyndVR' is a digital therapeutics company that primarily works with virtual reality (VR) technologies. It recently announced a partnership with 'Oroi,' a VR content platform, whereby the two entities will collaborate on a set of therapies and experiences for seniors in the metaverse.

The fully immersive nature of VR effectively blocks out the surrounding environment, allowing a patient to feel as though they are in a completely different world. This can provide better focus, but can also open up a sense of wonder and exploration that makes VR treatments more enjoyable to patients.

A collaboration between MyndVR and Oroi has been announced to broaden MyndVR’s library of cognitive, physical, and occupational therapies.
