Mobiddiction is Innovating Using Virtual Reality (VR)

At Mobiddiction, innovation isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the driving force behind how we build meaningful technology. Over the past decade, we’ve led the charge in mobile and digital innovation for enterprise and government clients. Now, as we extend our capabilities into immersive technology, Virtual Reality (VR) is playing a major role in how we deliver engaging, purposeful, and impactful experiences.

A New Dimension of Digital Experience

With VR, we’re not just creating entertainment — we’re building solutions that support mental wellbeing, clinical care, youth engagement, and health education. As part of this journey, our VR applications have now successfully launched on the MetaQuest Horizon Store, showcasing not only our innovation capabilities but also our ability to deliver high-quality, research-driven, and production-ready VR solutions that meet platform requirements.

Our Flagship VR Programs

PatientVR – Immersive VR for Patients in Hospitals

Born from over 300+ industry consultations and developed over two years, PatientVR is a clinically informed, controller-free VR platform designed to enhance the hospital experience for patients. It supports pain management, distraction during procedures, and emotional wellbeing.

We initially conducted trials with NSW Health (Nepean Palliative Care) and QLD Metro South Health (Logan Hospital), and have been part of Investment NSW’s Going Global program exploring international markets in the UK, UAE, and India.

HealthVR – Positive Distraction for Patients using VR

HealthVR is a collection of calming, interactive environments for young patients undergoing treatment. Designed in consultation with specialists, these environments help manage phobias and anxiety with minimal to no hand movement — ideal during IVs, cannula insertions, or other clinical procedures.

 

 

VapingVR

Powerful Prevention Tool using immersive VR

VapingVR is a compelling, science-informed experience targeted at teens and young adults. Set inside a stylised version of the lungs, it’s designed to educate and empower youth through immersive storytelling and gamified discovery — where users experience the long-term impact of vaping in an engaging, first-person perspective.

 

 

 

 

Starlight RocketCrew – Fun Meets Purpose with Virtual Reality

We proudly supported the Starlight Children’s Foundation through the RocketCrew VR experience, developed as part of a creative initiative to empower kids in hospitals with light-hearted, imaginative gameplay. The collaboration brought joy, distraction, and laughter into the Starlight Express rooms at the Sydney Children’s Hospital – a reminder that sometimes, innovation is just about making someone smile when they need it most.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Bigger Picture: How VR is Transforming Industries

Virtual Reality is no longer a concept reserved for gamers or futurists — it’s a powerful tool already reshaping industries.

🔧 VR for Training and Simulation

VR allows organisations to recreate real-world scenarios in controlled environments. From medical simulations to workplace safety, emergency response, and machinery operation – immersive training helps improve retention, reduce errors, and build confidence before engaging in high-risk or critical tasks.

🧠 VR for Wellbeing and Mental Health

VR’s ability to create calming environments or cognitive stimulation is unlocking new paths in anxiety reduction, mindfulness, pain management, and neuro-rehabilitation. At Mobiddiction, we continue to explore new ways VR can be harnessed to support emotional and mental wellbeing in both clinical and non-clinical settings.

📚 VR for Education and Youth Engagement

Education through immersion helps students retain knowledge and stay engaged. Whether it’s interactive science labs, historical recreations, or behaviour-change narratives like VapingVR, VR gives educators tools to reach younger audiences in memorable, emotionally connected ways.
