PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Virtual Reality (VR) is a booming indistury. However, its main focus has mainly been revolving around the entertainment and the gaming industry. PROJECT GENIE seeks to change that. We want to use VR to do social good.
Just like a genie, we hope we can make wishes that were once considered impossible to come true.
By 2030, Singapore's elderly population is set to double. As their physical health deteriorate with age, their mobility is limited, thus leaving them in an environment with little stimulation. We want to change that, and help improve the quality of life of our pioneer generation.

No. of Elderly aged above 65 years old in 2030

Physical Rehabilitation (Physiatry) is a long and painful process. Only about 30% of physical therapy patients attend all sessions. We want to bring that number up and help make their recovery a more bearable one with VR.
