Virtual reality rehabilitation is advancing the way we think about healthcare treatments. It also has the power to be more inclusive for children with disabilities.

Check out Danny's latest blog about the inclusion of VR rehabilitation and how it empowers children with disabilities.

"At MARS VR Lab, we are aware of how critical it is for healthcare technology to be inclusive as well as easily accessible. The XPod is adapted to the individual capabilities of each child, enabling them to direct the movement of the virtual wheelchair with components taken directly from actual power wheelchair arms and input devices." - Danny, CEO and Co-Founder of MARS VR Lab

Happy Friday, Folks!

Now that the new year has begun, we would like to introduce our newest co-op student, Mehjabeen! Mehjabeen is joining our development team as the QA and Junior Developer working on the XPod! Her roles include testing, finding bugs, and ensuring the features in the game work properly. Mehjabeen is studying computer science at Dalhousie, and we are thrilled to have her on the team for her second co-op placement.

Fun Facts:

- Mehjabeen enjoys playing football, handball, and volleyball
- In high school, she won the best player and currently still plays intramural sports at university

Lastly, Mehjabeen "Is so glad to have joined this wonderful team and is excited to work and learn from everyone over the coming months."

Stay tuned for more team profiles!

Finding a solution to a problem sometimes requires you to get creative! Shawn had some fun this week designing a universal joystick holder prototype for the XPod. Can you guess how many household items were used to make the prototype?
