Among the various opportunities offered by this year’s Open Conference, we are excited to share that Maria Sansoni, 2022-23 supervisor, will provide hands-on insights into how Virtual Reality can be used to enhance Well-Being!

Workshop: Using Virtual Reality to Promote Well-Being (Instructor: Maria Sansoni)

Maria Sansoni, PhD Candidate at the University of Sacred Heart in Milan, member of the Humane Techology Lab and supervisor of the 2022 jSchool, will drive attendees through all the steps of this workshop. Maria applies indeed VR to the psycho-oncological field, by developing psychological interventions for improving cancer patients’ well-being. Thanks to her new position as a supervisor of the 2022 jSchool, Maria will also support her team on assessing the impact of Instagram filters on users’ well-being and creating an intervention to buffer the pressure of social media perfection”.

Join us for a 90-minute workshop concerning the use of Virtual Reality (VR) to promote Well-Being! Attendees will firstly get information about VR and how this technology can be broadly used to improve people’s well-being. They will then proceed by analyzing practical implications of VR interventions, and conclude the workshop by experiencing on their skin what they listened to during the first part of the workshop: a practical experience will challenge them with VR headsets and scenarios, to offer participants concrete and real examples of VR interventions that enhance well-being.

Join us at the Open Conference 2022!
