Shagger Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 It's always great to see these efforts being made to help people recover from strokes, disabilities and other debilitating ailments. I hope they choose the games carefully, though. The last thing any stroke victem needs is Dark Souls or Ghosts and Goblins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I guess in near future the VR based games can be used to get people out of anxiety, stress and even promise them some life in the game to recover them from misery, who knows where tech can be used.
