Digital Skills
2025-09-15 13:00 - 15:00
Join us and experience virtual reality (VR) headset
Virtual Reality (VR) headsets offer a fully immersive experience that can transport you into entirely different worlds. Here’s an overview of the experience with a VR headset:
1. Set-Up

VR usually come with the headset itself, controllers, and possibly external sensors (for tracking movement). Some require a PC or console connection, while others are standalone.

You will have a clear, open area to move around in. VR experiences often involve walking or gesturing, so a good play area is key.

2. Putting on the Headset

The first thing you’ll notice is how the world around you fades out, and you’re suddenly immersed in a virtual environment.

Comfort is a consideration—some headsets have adjustable straps, face padding, and even ventilation to keep the experience comfortable.
User Interface

Once you put on the headset, you usually start in a “home” or “menu” environment, where you can navigate with controllers

You’ll see virtual buttons or floating menus that you can interact with using your controllers or hand gestures.

The wellbeing of elderly individuals in ethnic community groups is deeply tied to social connection, inclusivity, and support systems. Loneliness and isolation can have profound effects on their physical and mental health, leading to depression, anxiety, and even cognitive decline.
Communities must collaborate to create safe spaces where elderly individuals feel valued. Mental health services, peer groups, and culturally relevant activities can make a significant difference in preventing isolation.
