Impact

Getting familiar with public transport

Virtual OV aims to make users confident and lower the threshold for travelling by public transport. By recreating everyday travel situations in VR.

In this way, participants can practice safely and without limits before they actually hit the road by simulating everyday travel situations.

Development of Crucial Cognitive Skills

Travelling by public transport is more than just following routes. It requires mastering cognitive skills such as planning, problem-solving, and maintaining attention.

Virtual OV contributes to the development of these essential cognitive skills, making participants better prepared to travel independently.

Promoting social inclusion

Another important goal is to promote social inclusion. Virtual OV prepares participants for social interactions on public transport, giving them more confidence in interacting with fellow passengers and staff. This opens the door to greater social inclusion and better participation in society. 

Stress Reduction and Anxiety Management

New situations can cause anxiety and stress. In Virtual OV, participants become familiar with unexpected situations within public transport, such as delays or the loss of their ticket. As a result, they are better prepared and more confident when they actually take the step to travel.
