Summary
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MyndVR, the national leader in virtual reality (VR) solutions for senior living communities, is announcing its partnership with Pico Interactive and Littlstar to donate VR headsets to senior care communities in all 50 states to combat the effects of social isolation due to the COVID-19 crisis.
