Virtual Reality Experiences for Seniors
Virtual Reality Experiences for Seniors
We work with aged care facilities, retirement living communities, hospitals and related services across Australia and New Zealand.
In 2019, SilVR Adventures was founded in Melbourne with a mission to enrich the quality of life of seniors through virtual reality experiences. We began running guided communal VR sessions that encourage social interaction for groups of seniors in aged care facilities.
Following an overwhelmingly positive response from residents and care teams, we introduced a more flexible self-service solution. This option let facilities run their own VR sessions with a greater frequency and at a lower cost.
When the global pandemic struck in 2020, meaningful social interactions for the elderly became increasingly difficult. Many seniors faced an incredibly challenging period of isolation and aged care facilities moved to adapt to this new reality.
We adapted too. Introducing best-in-class VR headsets and an innovative new software platform, our product update allowed up to 40 participants to share experiences and talk to each other, no matter where they were.
We will continue to innovate, adapt and improve to best meet the needs of seniors and aged care teams.
