VR experiences for elderly care and LSS.
Experience the city pulse and the dazzling neon lights of Times Square in New York, explore the winding and spice-scented alleys of Marrakech, or take the elderly care facility to the beautiful Santorini - all in VR.
Not everyone has the opportunity to physically travel and explore the world as they once did. But with ViroteaVR, care recipients in LSS and elderly care facilities can travel virtually and experience the world without leaving the safety of their homes. The use of welfare technology in the form of VR experiences in the care of individuals with conditions such as dementia has proven to be very positive. Loneliness and mental health challenges are issues many older adults face today, and these can have negative consequences for their overall health.
By offering virtual experiences, Virotea aims to promote joy and connection among the elderly, which can contribute to their well-being. Addressing loneliness and mental health issues among the elderly is not only important for their individual well-being but also has significant societal implications to consider.
Discover ViroteaVR's fun and meaningful VR experiences designed to improve the quality of life for care recipients. Our VR experiences are tailored for care environments and are aimed at those who may not be able to travel or experience places in conventional ways. Explore how we can enrich the daily lives of care recipients in your facility with stimulating VR experiences.
Simple VR tech
The service is easy to use, and the activity is conveniently selected by the staff via the accompanying tablet, which is then transferred to the VR goggles for an immediate experience.
A meaningful activity
Many elderly people live alone and sometimes lack motivation to engage socially. Traveling virtually and experiencing places like Paris or Greece can be a powerful way to create community and start conversations among care recipients in elderly care facilities.
Good for groups
Virotea's VR package includes two VR goggles. The staff easily selects destinations or activities via the accompanying tablet, which is sent directly to both VR goggles simultaneously. Care recipients can thus experience destinations together, which can open up for discussions and awaken dormant memories.
Wide range of destinations
Everyone speaks swedish
All Virotea's VR experiences are in easily understandable Swedish, making them perfect for care recipients in LSS and elderly care facilities.
All image and video material is tailored for care environments, and we can also customize new content as needed. With over 1000 images and videos, we offer everything from Christmas markets to tropical destinations, guided tours, concerts, and much more.
Easily control all content from the tablet
At app.virotea.com staff can easily choose from thousands of images and videos to display in the VR goggles. The media library is sorted into relevant categories to help the user navigate the content easily and find something exciting. All the staff needs to do to get started is to click on an image or video, which is then immediately sent to the VR goggles. With the tablet, they can see what is being displayed in the goggles, understand what the care recipients are experiencing, and adjust the experiences accordingly.

VR experiences for home care
ViroteaGO also offers VR experiences for elderly care and LSS but is tailored to home care or personal assistance services. This is the optimal solution for care staff who have limited time with each care recipient and a multitude of tasks to manage. With ViroteaGO, staff cycling to care recipients can easily bring "the whole world" with them in their backpack containing a pair of VR goggles.
