VR Resources

To support caregivers, Virtual Reality (VR) modules are available for caregivers to impart life skills to care recipients and help them better understand how their care recipients experience the world. Through these modules. we hope caregivers can better equip their care recipients when dealing with various situations, allowing persons with disabilities to practise life skills in a safe virtual space.

It is recommended to watch all modules with VR goggles. You may access the modules either via YouTube or the Storyhive app. For more information on the use of the app, please click User Guide to using StoryHive for a VR experience.

A Trip to the Supermarket

Persons with Autism Spectrum Disorder may have different ways of processing or integrating stimuli such as touch, hearing and sight. This may lead to sensory overload and a meltdown in extreme cases.

Filmed from the perspective of someone with autism, this module aims to bring users into the world of persons with autism and get users to experience how common stimuli during a routine trip to the supermarket can potentially be overwhelming for persons with autism. Through this module, users can better understand how persons with autism experience the world and have more empathy when interacting with them. 

Note: Persons with autism interact with the environment and process the stimuli differently. Not all will undergo sensory overload experiences like the one presented in this module.
