Brain Man Virtual Reality - Triggering Nostalgia With Instantly Recognisable Locations
This is taken from the BMVR Beta Test Session that took place in Wimbledon London in June 2022.
It showcases the incredible power of virtual reality to transport people anywhere the world in the blink of an eye.
The "place illusion" is so powerful in this VR experience that memories can instantly come flooding back.
(It was sheer fluke that these two people had BOTH been to Venice before, but such coincidences can, of course, be planned in advance too)
Virtual Reality is completely unlike other medium in its capacity to make people feel present in the moment, whilst entirely absent from the room.
In fact, this has been used to great effect in care homes, enabling people who are not very mobile (like the elderly for example) to go on VR journeys up mountains, under the sea etc, that they are simply not physically capable of coping with in the flesh. Feeling as if they have visited a familiar place from their past, without the inconvenience of leaving home, brings a huge sense of well-being. This is true for anybody; young or old.
Brian Man VR memory trips can be tailored to individual needs. We can curate a memory trip for your team member or loved one if we can get hold of a suitable 360 photograph of the appropriate location.

[This all took place in separate rooms, but in the same location, all running off the same wifi. Any number of people can join the experience. So long as they have a copy of the Brain Man VR app. Dozens of people can enter this VR space at the same time. Social VR is what makes virtual reality special, after all, so that's why we specialise in it.]
