What is VR?

Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment experienced through a headset placed over the eyes, immersing the user in that environment. At UCP of Western Massachusetts’s Assistive Technology Department, you can access hundreds of situations, lessons, and experiences through individualized training one-on-one with a coach providing guidance and supervision.  Using a VR headset called the Oculus plus two hand controllers, the user will be able to self-engage in their virtual environment by using hand movements to interact with their virtual world.

NOTE: Due to safety regulations regarding the use of the Oculus VR device, participants must be 13 years or older to participate in this program
