San Diego 4.0 is the world's first large-scale Virtual Reality (VR) for Good community project. Our campaign will seek to validate the hypothesis that hyper-local VR community experiences support seniors and patients in feeling loved, connected, and empowered.
MISSION
San Diego 4.0 will help pioneer how new technologies overcome senior loneliness and isolation. Let's work together to make this a reality.
AMERICA'S NEW LEADERS
San Diego 4.0 will inspire and empower the next generation of senior living and healthcare leaders with online courses, VIP meetings, real-world projects, and podcasts.
FAMILIES
Our online courses will instruct family members and friends to create VR Experiences to support seniors and patients.
1. HYPER-LOCAL IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES
Our campaign will record hundreds of San Diego beaches, gardens, hiking trails, museums, and fun adventures. We will also provide online courses to teach new leaders how to create their own immersive VR experiences.
2. VR SENIOR LIVING STATIONS
San Diego 4.0 will provide these experiences to senior living organizations throughout San Diego (and beyond) for FREE. We'll work with local leaders to create VR Stations to deliver our VR Trips safely.
3. RESEARCH
The campaign will partner with national and regional researchers on various topics. Our mission is to continue validating the use of our new tools to support seniors.
Let's work together to show the world how to use new technology for good.
America has reached Peak 65. This demographic peak means that a record number of US citizens will turn 65 in 2024.
Experts agree that America has a senior loneliness crisis. These numbers are expected to increase as nearly 25% of seniors live alone.
The senior living industry continues its leadership crisis, and organizations continue to adapt poorly to the challenges of Peak 65.
Senior isolation and loneliness increase their likelihood of stroke, heart conditions, and early death. Let's use VR to help overcome the problem.
Senior isolation and loneliness contribute to increased anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Let's use VR to support seniors.
Senior isolation and loneliness may lead to early stages of memory challenges and early first-stage dementia. Let's work together to fix this.
Senior living organizations continue to face the challenge of attracting qualified candidates. It's time to embrace innovation.
Senior living employees face burnout as senior demand increases and the number of available workers decreases. Check out our blog post.
VR Experiences are quickly becoming validated as a powerful tool to help seniors feel loved, connected, and empowered.
VR Learning is a fun and interactive new tool to help seniors improve their cognitive abilities. Let's make learning fun again.
Hyper-local and familiar 360-degree/VR videos support early first-stage dementia patients with memory stimulation.
VR Experiences alleviate the chronic pain of seniors and patients by tricking the mind into thinking its somewhere else.
San Diego 4.0 will create hundreds of hyper-local, immersive 360-degree videos of parks, trails, beaches, and places of worship.
San Diego 4.0 will donate these immersive 360-degree videos to senior living, hospital, and hospice organizations.
Our research projects will research the hypothesis that immersive 360-degree videos support isolated seniors and hospital patients.
We have created a series of online courses to instruct professionals and families to develop and safely deliver VR Experiences.
