Magic Horizons Medical VR

Holistic solution

Magic Horizons offers a holistic solution in one product and is also particularly suitable for use in dementia patients due to its strong stress-reducing effect:

• Activation (virtual trips, biographical work)
• Cognitive training, dementia therapy (calming down when restless)
• Anxiety and pain reduction
• Stress reduction (senile depression, stress reduction of nursing staff)

 

The Magic Horizons applications are developed with the advice of leading scientists, medical professionals and gerontologists:

  • Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin: Magic Horizons has developed a very special visual and formal language in VR, based on a study conducted by the Cluster of Excellence Image, Knowledge, Design at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, especially for Magic Horizons.
  • Magic Horizons is also working with Kings' College, London, on current studies as well as with

USC California and NHS Cambridgeshire
Combined with a specially developed immersive audio process, a strong stress-reducing effect is generated.

  • In contrast to other providers, all applications at Magic Horizons are designed with scientific advice in such a way that no negative effects such as dizziness or discomfort arise (no motion sickness and no fear of heights)
  • In particular, "frightening" moments for the user are avoided. With such “frightening” content, not only the benefit is questionable, but there is also a risk of creating or increasing fears or even the risk of injuries from uncontrolled movements. Facilities have reported to us that other providers offer such questionable content and that corresponding negative effects have occurred.

CE certified class 1 medical device
The Magic Horizons VR software is a CE certified Class 1 medical device for reducing anxiety and pain during and/or after uncomfortable medical treatments, surgical procedures and/or in high-stress situations.

  • In practice, Magic Horizons is therefore also used successfully in senior citizens' facilities, for example when changing bandages, during infusions, treating wounds, etc.

Holistic system

  • Real nature in high quality: large selection (mountains, beaches, lakes, brooks)
  • Binaural beats - from delta waves (better sleep) to alpha waves (stimulating, creativity)
  • Interactive exercises (only in Premium Mobile): number training, kinesiology, movement game, sound cinema, creating objects in a crystal cave
  • Meditations: guided meditations, breathing exercises, sleeping aids
  • Fantasy journeys: fairy tales, fantasy trips, color rooms, ice worlds, northern lights, water caves

Intuitive user interface

Magic Horizons has an intuitive user interface that allows a very versatile use:

  • User playlists: the nursing staff can create their own thematic playlists for the seniors (e.g. forest bathing, sea trips) etc.
  • Preset playlists: From deep relaxation, calming down to gaining new energy
  • Training plan: specially designed for employee wellbeing for the nursing staff
  • Remote control via any standard tablet or smartphone (Android and iOS) with synchronized playlists for several seniors in parallel, individual applications, microphone function

Additional benefit - Employee wellbeing for the nursing staff

  • Because of the strong stress-reducing effect, the Magic Horizons product is also very popular with the nursing staff as a virtual break and to strengthen resilience.
  • Due to the various possible uses, the unique Magic Horizons system is particularly efficient in terms of utilization for senior citizens and nursing staff and therefore also offers correspondingly great advantages from an economic point of view.
