HTC has teamed up with XRHealth and Nord-Space Aps to send a virtual reality (VR) headset to astronauts in space. The VR therapy will be used to treat mental health conditions during their upcoming space mission. The VIVE Focus 3 headset has been specially configured to be compatible with the microgravity conditions in space. Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen will be the first to use the VR headset for preventative care during his mission with NASA Crew-7. The aim is to address the mental health needs of astronauts who live in isolated and stressful environments during space missions.
