All Hands on Tech with Digital Nova Scotia

In this episode of All Hands on Tech, we chat with MARS VR Lab's CEO Daniel Baldwin about their XPod, the future of virtual reality in healthcare and why he and his business partner switched their focus from gaming to helping children in rehabilitation.

Show Notes

After years of offering fun (and sometimes life-changing) virtual reality experiences for Nova Scotians, Daniel Baldwin and his business partner set out on a new path: using VR to help children in rehabilitation.

MARS VR Lab is now working with doctors at Halifax's IWK to create easy-to-use gamified VR training systems for power wheelchairs, so children can learn fundamental concepts of control and movement safely, while having fun. In this episode of All Hands on Tech, we chat about what led to the career pivot and what lies ahead for healthcare when it comes to virtual reality.
