Professional services
We aim to ensure that a range of sectors have access to VR therapies. In order to reach as many in the community as possible, we offer a training service and consultancy to businesses and care providers, like schools and care homes.
From combining gaming and therapy to focussing on education, or hosting innovative and immersive workshops, our SEND services aim to ease a range of conditions. We can also advise on how to utilise an unused classroom for this experience or how to update an existing sensory room.
For SEND schools
We offer a design, build and training service for multi-sensory rooms for regular use by residents. By teaching staff to use VR headsets and deliver sessions themselves, it can increase the skillset and job satisfaction of staff in a sector often challenged by recruitment and retention.
For care homes
We can create one-off on-site company and team therapy days, 6- or 12-month subscriptions for multiple days and consultancy services to provide increased workforce wellbeing for staff teams on-site.

Medical evidence
Virtual reality therapy is already being used in 200 hospitals and healthcare units and we’ve seen amazing
results for a range of conditions. Here’s just a few stories…
Anxiety and mental health
The gameChange VR program was developed by a team of university, health and industry experts including Oxford University spin-out: OxfordVR, creators of immersive technology for mental health. The largest ever clinical trial of virtual reality for mental health, game change especially helped people whose anxiety had previously left them virtually housebound.
Cancer treatment
The Norwegian Cancer Society has been using this type of therapy for little ones who have had a bone marrow transplant. In order to elevate the boredom that set in for the required 6-week isolation in a sterile tent, VR Goggles and a 360 VR movie of a Dolphin Swim Club were given to create a sense of the outdoors and encourage interaction.
Learning disabilities and Autism
At the Dutch healthcare facility Heeren Loo, which houses 10,000 residents, medical staff undertook a virtual therapies study with a group of 55 residents with learning disabilities, suffering from very high-stress levels. 82% showed and reported a considerable improvement after experiencing the Dolphin Swim Club VR on a regular base.
Children's Anxiety in Hospitals
“Project Braveheart”, was conducted by doctors at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford. A total of 40 patients, awaiting treatment for congenital heart diseases took part, using VR goggles to follow a tour guiding them along the exact path that they’d take on the day of their procedure. Results showed that they felt less stressed
Burn victims Undergoing painful dressing changes
Patients at Northern General Hospital in Sheffield, led by the local university, were given VR headsets so they could immerse themselves in a scenario far from the clinical environment. Many claimed that with the VR distraction, they felt less pain when having bandages changed.
