Lucid Reality Labs received the Silver Telly Award in the Immersive & Mixed Reality in Health & Safety category that celebrates content that is designed to promote, educate and train the audiences on health and safety. The awarded XR experience - “Seeing the Problem” was developed to raise awareness and recognition around the issue of macular disease in the UK.
Macular disease impacts almost 1.5 million in the UK, with people of all ages living with the condition. Even though no cure currently exists, treatment may slow down the disease and diminish the severity of vision loss. Therefore, it is essential to raise awareness and recognition to be able to prevent macular disease already in early stages.
With many conditions not visible to the naked eye, the created Extended Reality solution helped understand and learn what it is to live with some of the symptoms, submerging users into a virtual environment where they can live-through realistic real-life challenges that people with macular disease face every day.
We are truly thrilled to receive this prestigious award, it is in many ways thanks to our remarkable team and their drive to create next level immersive technology. We would like to also thank our clients who have entrusted us with developing this experience and shared their knowledge and expertise in the ophthalmology field to make the XR experience truly impactful.
Today, we celebrate yet another award that our team has worked hard to achieve. With that being said, we are and will remain true to our mission and values, which is the main driver and the defining factor of our success.
