Since 2013: VR specialist, producer of VR360 movies global pioneer of VR usage in technology in oncology and other medical areas. Founder of Virtual Dream Foundation.
English crowdfunding and summary of most recent work can be found: http://patreon.com/VirtualDream
In my work, Im trying to support and bring the outside world to people who cannot go out to it. Let little warriors from oncological isolation rooms and hospice beds have a motivating, virtual visit to their home, re-attend a school lesson with their friends, play with a longing puppy, or take a seat at the Christmas Eve table.
I am cooperating with United Nations, giving lectures for International Committee of Red Cross in Geneva, working with International High Schools in Switzerland and many other schools to teach young people about VR development with all its’ dark and bright features. Most recent lectures and training were in MIT Boston, Hong Kong, Washington DC, Israel, China, Germany, and Romania.
My main goal is to equip hospitals with VR hardware, proper VR content, 360 videos, and know-how. To train medical staff, volunteers and coordinate potential cooperation with local sponsors/partners. To create Research and Development center with stable funding, adapt the newest technology, cooperate with scientific facilities and research of best potential usage in the social, medical and humanitarian field.
Despite the potential of VR, he is also researching mental risks and educating young people about them. VR impact and risks of addiction, porn, gambling and other behavioural habits. Destructive impact of VR on escapism, alter-ego, anti-social behaviour, relationship crisis and social crisis. Finally Usage of VR for suicide prevention.
Can Virtual Reality Change the Real World?
Main bullet points of lecture will cover the potential of immersion for equality of chances for people with limitations in real world.
VR as a support for neuroplasticity, binaural sound to help focus children on the autism spectrum;
and most of all, fulfilling the dreams of kids fighting cancer: bringing moments of relief, disconnecting from physical barriers and providing a smile where it is needed the most.
