CMHC: Using Mindscape Commons: Mindscape Commons Database

A practical guide to walk students through using the Mindscape Commons database along with our Virtual Reality rooms and VR technology.

What is Mindscape Commons?

What is Mindscape Commons?
 

Mindscape Commons is the world's first online resource for immersive and interactive content in mental health. It presents and documents nearly 200 VR experiences, games, and apps, for teaching and research in counseling, social work, psychology, health sciences, and related programs.
 

Because virtual reality can be experienced on any number of devices, Coherent Digital has made sure that the VR experiences within Mindscape Commons can be viewed on a laptop, on a smartphone with the Google Cardboard app, or with full VR immersion using an Oculus head-mounted device.
