Description: VR designed for awe and rehab. The experience combines virtual art, technology, and rehabilitation. When we, in reality, are contained to our home, nursing home, or hospital room. We can in the virtual reality experience wonder in new, calming worlds. A remarkable intersection between art, pain relief, and exercise.
Review: I’m not quite sure what kind of app ‘VirtualRehabART4Health’ is meant to be. There are two worlds with a few options in each. There is the forest with physiotherapy, orienteering and a single exercise, then there is the garden with yoga, orienteering and a single exercise. With its low-quality graphics and weird little creatures this app tries to be art, it tries to be relaxing and good for mild pain relief and yet it fails on all counts. However, it does only cost £2.09 so if you think it might help you relax or the light physiotherapy sounds interesting it is not too much to give this a go. I just found it all too weird for its own good and wish the developers had stuck to one thing.
