What is Augmented Reality? Augmented Reality (AR) overlays an interactive visual, auditory, or other sensory experience onto real world environments. With AR technology, art and graphics come alive on phones and tablets, immersing users in storybased, entertainment or educational experiences.
Why AR? One of the best ways to minimize healthcare-induced anxiety and trauma is to offer children a positive distraction, lowering stress in a typically high-stress environment. Augmented Reality empowers children and parents.The experience further realizes the reality of most hospitals’ vision to improve the health and experience of patients through technology and innovation. This technology is low maintenance and expandable.
Universally Accessible • Use any phone or
tablet
• Quick-loading content • Designed for ages 4-18.
What is Environmental Graphic AR?
Environmental Graphic AR creates immersive digital experiences by bringing existing art and graphics in the space to life. Environmental Graphic AR provides an ever-evolving, immersive experience utilizing personal devices and the physical space to transform hospital visits into opportunities for children to explore, learn, and play.
Positive Distraction
Through the use of wall and ceiling graphics alongside the AR art, a whimsical and positive distraction can be created.

AR Theme: Aquatic
An Aquatic Scene where a cast of characters are all friends and share the same space. They have personalities communicated through their visual appearance and animations. Utilizing short animations and sounds, the characters play, interact and occasionally annoy each other but the animation always results in a fun, surprising or positive way.

Research & Data
Environmental AR empowers children and parents before care even begins. According to a 2016 article published by The World Journal of Clinical Pediatrics the #1 way to minimize healthcare-induced anxiety and trauma is to “offer children a sense of power in a powerless environment.”
