DreamLand

The patients board an aircraft that will take them through a fantasy land made of floating islands and beautiful sceneries. In their journey, they must rid the islands of small invaders using an apple canon and the help of friendly dragons.

The game has been tailored for the very specific needs and characteristics of our target population. The experience is optimized for the oculus rift and the controls have been simplified to work in various medical settings with minimal preparation time. Our main concern was to create a game that delivers a potent distractive effect while inciting almost no side effects or cyber sickness.

Bubbles

Bright colors, funny animals and of course, bubbles. The perfect recipe to entertain younger kids. Take this smooth trip through a child’s dream and let your mind float

Designed for a younger audience, this game is simple yet effective. Focused on bright colors and funny characters, the goal was to design the simplest interaction that still delivers a very potent distraction. Everything in the game reacts when a bubble touches them.

When video games meet medical world.


DREAM LAB is a joint venture between the medical world and game developers with one goal in mind: create the perfect distraction tool to reduce pain and anxiety in children receiving medical treatments.

Growing evidence in the medical literature suggests that virtual reality is a very potent and effective way of creating distraction. In turn, distraction has been shown to reduce pain and anxiety in children who are receiving painful medical procedures.

The pediatric population offers quite a challenge when it comes to pain control, especially the pain caused by medical procedure. Kids are not small adults, they perceive pain differently and the approach toward painful procedure is much different. Anxiety and anticipation greatly modulates pain perception and can often jeopardize a treatment if a child’s collaboration cannot be obtained. With those premises in mind, we set out to create the perfect game for distracting kids from their pain.
