How SendorVR Compares
Clinics already reach for phones, toys, numbing cream and a calm voice. A short immersive experience is the one option that takes the needle out of view and fills the patient's attention, and it works alongside the rest.

What Immersion Adds
The needle is out of view
A screen at arm's length still leaves the tray in the corner of the eye. A headset replaces the whole field of view with something calm.
Presence holds attention
Research from the University of Washington links the feeling of being inside a virtual world with larger reductions in reported pain. Immersion is what a phone cannot offer.
It stacks with what you already do
Numbing cream for the pain, a calm nurse for the words, SendorVR for the eyes and the mind. Vaccination pain guidelines recommend combining approaches.
