How do you deal with taking them out of that vr-environment? I assume there's a method to it but I can't imagine how you'd execute that. How do you go about that and why?

Not part of my question, but I study learning and development and digital solutions are very interesting to me, so this is very inspiring. I appreciate you for the work you do and I hope that I can at one point be part of something similar.

Re-adjustment to "real life" is rather quick - some patients may be disoriented for a few seconds (adjusting to light, space) but nothing serious. Out of our 25 patients we had no one suffer dizziness or falling during or after gameplay.

Most patients are helped with donning the VR kit, and also helped with taking it off. There is always a therapist within arm's reach in case of any issues. Many patients also play seated, while other prefer standing.
