The VR project transporting hospital patients and staff into nature

In this podcast we aim to bring you stories you may not hear in the normal course of news - things that are off the beaten track.

In this episode, David Nevin collaborated with the artists behind a pilot project at UHG that used VR technology to bring respite to patients.

It's not just about virtual reality - but also using touch and smell to transport a patient from the hospital bed to another time and place in nature.
