On the occasion of the evening to promote the centenary of the Belfort in Paris, the Provincial Council invited the public to discover the NATO fortress sinking into the bowels of Salbert by simply donning a virtual reality helmet. This first-of-its-kind visit could soon be complemented by other experiences that can be enjoyed in virtual reality. This is at least the project CD90 intends to achieve.
Four or five trials this year
“We would like to be able to build this project over the next few years so that we can offer a comprehensive catalog of experiences,” explains Aspect of Centennial Cell. The goal is to be able to count from the end of this year “four or five trials”.
dependents
The device is mainly aimed at people with disabilities or residing in institutions for Dependent Seniors (Ehpad). The idea is to allow people to discover or rediscover places they cannot reach. NATO Fort is a clear example and a perfect playground for this type of visit.
The person who had been silent for years started speaking again after a virtual animal feeding session
Beyond the educational scope, we also do not hide the therapeutic range that this type of device can perform. “An experiment where a person trapped in silence for years started speaking again after being able to take advantage of a virtual session to feed the animals has returned.”
Cycling on the ball
Such an experience can be found in the county council catalog, as the experience of setting off on a windsurfing trip, descending the Ballon d’Alsace by bike, or even experiencing a Eurockéennes gala as if one were on the scene. This last suggestion actually led to an experiment with PIHPOH during the 2018 edition.
“Arouse feelings”
“We study many avenues with the idea of providing an experience and evoking emotion,” we realize in the department, which intends to acquire several visualization kits. The operation can also be a tourist or cultural support.
