About

Join James Ascroft, Co-Founder & CEO at Sairo, as he explores VR's value in real-world applications across healthcare and logistics sectors.

James will share insights from Sairo's partnership with Community Care Gaming (CCG), where they developed an innovative VR platform making measurable differences in care homes across the UK. Discover why VR was the essential solution for tackling loneliness, supporting stroke recovery, and reducing dementia risk through shared immersive play.

The healthcare case study demonstrates VR's practical advantages: vulnerable users can experience therapeutic activities without the time-consuming logistics, physical strain, or major disruption risks associated with traditional outings. 

James will also discuss Sairo's partnership with HTC, focusing on their work in logistics training. Learn how VR is changing operational training by allowing workers to practice complex procedures in safe, controlled environments, saving significant training time while eliminating the risks of disrupting live operations or handling dangerous equipment during the learning process.

Whether you're curious about VR's comeback or interested in technology that solves real business challenges, this session will demonstrate how immersive tech is delivering tangible value across multiple industries.
