With the development of more and more realistic video games and technologies, especially around the space of virtual reality, how can these technologies offer real benefits for society as a whole? In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Rachel Proffitt, Assistant Professor at the University of Missouri and Principal Investigator at the VR Augmented Rehab Lab. We chat about the many applications of virtual reality, from physical therapy to utilization as a tool for supporting neurodivergence.
