Be the Captain of Your Life: The Impact of Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality Learning and Training
Dana-Maria Faneker is the first coach in the Netherlands who is working with Virtual Reality. She has won the Samsung VR Challange for the best VR idea in the Netherlands. That means that Samsung is going to help her to launch this idea first as a pilot in the Netherlands and then maybe worldwide. The idea is called: ''Fear or Love!'' With her Start-up called ''CaptainVR'' she wants to develop VR applications and train coaches, trainers, therapists and psychologists to work with this technology. So they can help people to get rid of all their fears, so they can realize their goals and dreams. Now she is training coaches from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Her mission is to help people to become the Captains of their Lifes. Rather than slaves TO their lives, or of their behaviors. With Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality this is now possible in the most powerful way.
