Who is Oisoi? A small virtual reality game studio based in Ghent, Belgium, with a mission to implement new ways to create and tell stories in and about the ‘metaverse’, defined here as a digital world where anyone can play games, take digital lessons, go to virtual concerts, or build and explore together. Since 2019, the studio has been creating a wide variety of products such as digital assets for theatre, virtual worlds for artists and even virtual reality training experiences for the aviation industry.
What is the next step? A crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter will launch on 1 September to support the planned release of the Painting VR in early 2022
Wim Reygaert, founder of Oisoi: “By implementing the multi-player system, users will not only be able to create and show their work but also to watch that of others, to play together, to learn together, and to share information, experience and inspiration amongst each other. And they’ll never have to worry about cleaning up afterwards.”
Who is Waya Health? A US company focused on the clinical use of virtual reality. It provides patient-centered and outcome-focused solutions to overcome today’s biggest healthcare challenges. Its virtual and augmented reality tools, including the Waya platform, can improve patient care, lower costs, and increase revenue across multiple clinical settings.
What will the study involve? Veterans and clinical staff in 12 VHA medical centres across the US will use wearable headsets loaded with Waya Health software developed to address the six critical medical use cases mentioned above. A previous study revealed several promising results, including reductions in discomfort and stress among participants.
Joe Morgan MD, president of Waya Health: “The opportunities are limitless for virtual reality to assess, monitor, and help manage numerous diseases; reduce the use of risky medications like opioids and sedatives; and really improve the quality of life for thousands of veterans.”
“This collaboration will be a validation pipeline to develop, test, and deploy virtual reality solutions not only for our veterans but also for patients, physicians, and clinical staff outside the VHA. We are very impressed with the VHA’s commitment to innovation and are honoured to be a part of it.”
