Events

Go on a Virtual Reality Adventure at the GHD Health & Wellness Library! Using Virtual Reality (VR) technology, transport yourself to a variety of visually stunning & mentally stimulating environments. Take a walk along the beach, explore an art museum, or travel around the world, without leaving the comfort of the Library. VR technology is used as a tool to cue memories, stimulate the brain, and provide positive experiences to support overall mental health.

Participants will put on a VR headset (30-minute sessions), which completely covers the eyes and immerses the wearer in a 360-degree digital reality to be seen through the lenses of the headset. The headset detects head movement, allowing the user to be fully immersed in the experience. Simply move the head left or right to discover the surroundings! Headphones may be worn for an audio experience as well.

When: Begins September 6 | Every 1st & 3rd Friday | 10 AM – 1 PM
Where: Grossmont Healthcare District’s Health & Wellness Library (9001 Wakarusa St. La Mesa, CA 91942)
Register: Call 619.825.5010, email library@grossmonthealthcare.org, or visit us in person.

Registration is required and participants must sign a liability waiver before using the VR technology. Participants are to remain seated at all times during the use of the VR headsets. For ages 13+ only (participants under age 18 must have a parent/guardian signature on the liability waiver).
