Strengthen self-reliance, reduce societal costs
Virtual OV is an innovative VR solution that helps neurodivergent people travel independently and safely on public transport. But the application is broader: anyone who has difficulty using public transport can learn with it.
In a realistic, risk-free environment, participants train step-by-step, leading to greater self-reliance, inclusion, and lower societal costs. Thanks to its simple implementation and scalability, Virtual OV can be quickly deployed in education, healthcare, and municipalities, without high barriers.
Discover how Virtual Public Transport can help your municipality:
- Scalable solution for independent travel.
Virtual OV trains residents with disabilities in a safe VR environment, enabling them to use public transport faster and with more confidence. This reduces dependence on expensive special transport and combats mobility poverty. - Implementing the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
With Virtual OV, you immediately comply with Measure 6 (Accessible public transport) of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Work Agenda. An innovative, measurable contribution to social inclusion and accessible mobility.
