Foundations Recovery Network Adds Virtual Reality
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) June 06, 2016 -- For years, virtual reality (VR) has been more promise than practical execution, with little impact on the average person’s life. But now those struggling with addiction or mental health disorders can use virtual reality to get a sneak peek at the treatment process. Foundations Recovery Network (FRN) is charting new territory with the launch of virtual reality tours of their residential treatment location The Oaks at La Paloma in Memphis and their outpatient facility Foundations Nashville.
From the comfort of their home, someone seeking treatment can take a tour via virtual reality and feel as if they are physically walking through that facility. It can be unsettling for someone to spend an extended period of time somewhere they’ve never visited. FRN’s new VR tours help ease some of those concerns by adding an element of transparency.
In a May 2016 article, Fortune.com showcased new ways companies are using VR technology to allow consumers to explore new vehicle models, check out seats at concert venues before purchasing tickets and reinventing amusement park rides.
“With the rapid expansion of virtual reality technology, we immediately saw the potential to allow consumers to experience our programs remotely in a more robust way than traditional video tours,” said FRN’s Chief Marketing Officer Lee Pepper.
FRN has plans to expand the program, providing VR tours for more of their 19 (and counting) locations in the future. To experience VR, Google Cardboard viewers can be purchased for $15 and other VR headset brands are also available. Even without VR glasses, the FRN website has an option to take a 360-degree tour of the facilities.
