Two entertainment corporations are coming forward to deliver a gospel-based virtual truth film called “7 Miracles” to the elderly who are remote through continuous closures aimed at reducing the spread of COVID-19.

In reaction to the new coronavirus, many elderly communities have been blocked to prevent the disease from wreaking havoc on the elderly.

MyndVR, a company specializing in virtual reality entertainment for the elderly, and HTC VIVE, a virtual reality platform, announced the partnership last week.

Jerry Carley, CEO of Benedictine, a nonprofit elderly care provider, would have been the first entity to show “7 miracles” to its senior community.

“MyndVR allows our citizens to bond with the gospel of John in a really meaningful way,” Carley said in the ad. “From healing the unlucky child to feeding the crowds, virtual truth is a very innovative reality of bringing the scriptures to life. “

MyndVR founder and CEO Chris Brickler told Christian Post that he felt “lucky to work with HTC VIVE,” calling them “the most complex virtual real company in the world. “

“We were invited to a very exclusive program, VIVE X, to help new companies, like us, get investments, as well as technical and content resources,” Brickler said.

“I think what attracted us most to HTC was its inherent commitment to improving people’s lives by employing recreational vehicles in well-being and physical care environments. “

Brickler told CP that MyndVR “is already getting orders” for the film and said they were “exceeding our expectations. “

“We have engaged non-secular leadership groups with several religious communities and the comments have been impressive,” he continued.

“This is one of the ultimate artistic tactics in human history to adapt the scriptures to fashionable VR technology. For example, when Jesus feeds the multitudes, our audience is deeply immersed in this delight with the additional account of the Gospel of John.

Brickler focuses on providing real virtual entertainment to the elderly, providing reports ranging from programming like National Geographic to music and arts with Disney.

The corporate also states that its products may be offering benefits for intellectual fitness and quality of life, after posting online testimonials from establishments that use the products.

“In one case, a resident with Alzheimer’s had personality characteristics she had before the diagnosis, as well as dancing, smiling and singing,” said Brian Barnes, ceo of The Blakeford in Nashville, Tennessee, according to the website.

“Another resident experienced relief from symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. The general reaction inspired everyone involved. “

Geoff Tunnicliffe, former general secretary of the Global Evangelical Alliance and co-founder of Oikos International, complimented the film “7 Miracles” in a CP column last year.

“At Cana’s wedding, you yourself at a party with well-dressed guests laughing, dancing, dining and drinking,” Tunnicliffe wrote.

“As the miracle of water develops to wine, you feel like you’re there in action. You can give all the instructions and see the room and the other people around you. “

With regard to the overall effect that virtual truth can have on devout practices, Tunnicliffe concluded that he believed that the new generation “will improve it, it will not harm it. “

“No matter where the generation takes us, what will never replace us is the fact that we were created and redeemed by a God who loves us. God knows where we’re going and he’s already here,” he concluded.
