Babcock Ranch, Florida – May 16, 2022 – Imagine being a child thrust into the world of cancer treatment in a hospital, adjusting to their new predicament and the need to undergo the mind-numbing procedures of chemotherapy. To a child this is the ultimate nightmare scenario.
d3 creative studio has partnered with Golisano Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida to transform children’s chemotherapy treatments into more tolerable experiences. The hope is to provide some level of comfort for kids, some level of distraction from what they are going through.
The two teams have converted a cold sterile doctor’s office into a warm and inviting experience. It’s a 270-degree, immersive experience brought to life by projection mapping with a total width of 36 feet, about the length of a standard school bus. This is now the only hospital in the nation with such a treatment room and the goal is to take this prototype and implement it in more hospitals across the country.
By immersing patients in virtual environments, virtual reality has been shown to reduce pain and anxiety. A study conducted by Arane, K., Behboudi, A., & Goldman, R. D. shows that VR is effective, either alone or in combination with standard care, in reducing the pain and anxiety patients experience compared with standard care or other distraction methods.(1)
With video projected seamlessly on every surface, patients can be transported to the beach, under the sea or to a galaxy far, far away. Or they can play video games and video chat with friends – whatever suits their mood.
During a recent interview, Anthony DeBono, Founder of d3 creative studio, made these comments, “There’s no way to describe our overwhelming gratitude to Golisano Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida for allowing us to be a part of something so meaningful! I’m proud of our team for making this happen for the kids and our community.”
