At the Crisis Centre of the child’s protection, children are waiting for a foster family. Unfortunately, it often happens that children stay here much longer than the intended 4 days to 2 weeks, because of insufficient foster care. That’s why Aukje Dekker and Studio VRij created a virtual space where they can be free and learn how to relax: above the clouds.

Oculus Cirrus is a virtual reality game that teaches young children to relax without realising it. It combines the action and sensation of flying in VR with the relaxing effect of breathing and mindfulness exercises. In the Oculus Cirrus the children go on a journey through the imagination. There is no winning or losing, no beginning or end. A dream world in which you can move freely and that gamifies “mindfulness".
