    About the project:

    The goal of this new H2020 is to develop virtual reality technologies for enhancing healthier lifestyles, and experimental evidence with clinical populations (mostly obese people). The main innovation is developing technologies that will allow to engage in conversations with virtual clones of oneself in VR, including clones that have gone through some transformation (e.g., meet a healthier version of yourself). This project is developed in collaboration between IDC Herzliya (Israel), Fundacio Hospital Universitari Vall D’Hebron, (Spain), Virtual Bodyworks SL (Spain), and Maastricht University (Netherlands).
