MINDS Lee Kong Chian Gardens School VR For Special Education

Virtual Reality is used in many industries for corporate purposes, but have you ever thought about how VR can be used to benefit the minorities?

In collaboration with MINDS - Lee Kong Chian Gardens school, a special education school in Singapore, Hiverlab delivered a 1-day dynamic and enriching VR training experience to more than 100 students through the Storyhive system. Guided by the special education teachers, students experienced boating, diving, flying, and roller coaster for the first time in their lives. The class was further supplemented by a Q&A session and discussion after an experience, to enhance the training of the students' observations skills, memory skills, as well as communication skills.

The overall feedback from the special education teachers involved has been very positive. All of them either agreed or strongly agreed that the VR experiences we provided had benefited the students and that the Storyhive sessions were easy to facilitate.

Encouraged by how VR can help people with special needs, we will keep exploring the usage of VR for special education needs and to benefit the minorities. To Hiverlab, every individual matter and immersive technology is for everyone.
