Did you know our Virtual Reality Hub for Healthy Pictou County can be explored through a fully immersive VR headset experience? Recently, HPC showcased this at the Dalhousie Family Medicine Resident Education Weekend Job Fair, where students had the chance to virtually step into the community—from operating rooms at Aberdeen Hospital to local restaurants and parks—all through the power of VR.

If you haven't had a chance to explore the experience, you can do it from the comfort of your home too! https://share.braevr.com/503439c0-6fad-11ef-a392-65e3a8baa376/

Special thanks to Healthy Pictou County and all our partners for supporting this innovative recruitment tool.

🌒🌍 BRAEVR Media captured the recent eclipse from Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia in 360º Virtual Reality. While it wasn't a total eclipse, with 94% of the sun covered by the moon, the spectacle was no less breathtaking. Witness the dramatic drop in daylight and we felt the sudden chill as the temperature plunged. It was a surreal experience!🌒🌍
See the world in a new light with BRAEVR Media. ☀
