🚀 Great American Elderverse™ Launch at The New Jewish Home! 🚀 Yesterday we hosted a launch of the Great American Elderverse™ in partnership with Mynd Immersive at The New Jewish Home’s Manhattan campus. This innovative program is set to revolutionize therapeutic recreation and rehabilitation for older adults through the power of virtual reality (VR). Witnessing our residents engage with VR headsets was truly magical. From revisiting their childhood homes in Cuba to experiencing Lion King on Broadway and even skydiving virtually, the opportunities are endless! We feel fortunate that PIX11 was there to catch it all on camera.

Being the first out of 60 facilities to receive this program is an honor!

We're proud to announce our participation in a philanthropic initiative called the Great American Elderverse™ program. In partnership with Mynd Immersive, HTC, the Consumer Technology Association, and AT&T, we are bringing innovative virtual reality experiences to senior citizens. This initiative aims to enhance their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We kicked off this initiative with a launch event at The New Jewish Home in New York, showcasing the transformative power of VR for our elders. Over the coming months, we'll equip 60 senior living centers with this state-of-the-art solution using our Nighthawk M6 Mobile Hotspot.

“VIVE headsets are designed to be accessible to everyone. The unique, modular design of our headsets allows for them to be transformed into comfortable, lightweight glasses, making them an easy-to-use XR solution for the growing elderly population,” said Cher Wang, Co-founder and Chairwoman of HTC. “We are honored to be part of the Elderverse and to bring our headsets into senior living communities across the New York tri-state area.” Partners: Mynd Immersive, NETGEAR, AT&T, The New Jewish Home #HTCVIVE #MyndImmersive #Elderverse
