Realizing the Impact: Veterans and Staff Experience the Benefits of Immersive Tech

“I felt so relaxed and calm. This changed my day.”

At West Haven VA, 163 Veterans and staff tried Virtual Reality (70% for the first time) and discovered new ways to relax, heal, and connect. By far, most Veterans wanted more VR to be used in their health care, and most would recommend it to other Veterans.

Through VXR Demo Days, VA is bringing virtual reality to Veterans across the country, making wellness more engaging and accessible to all.
