HTC Collaborates with XRHealth and Nord Space to Enhance Mental Well-being for ISS Astronauts

In a unique initiative, HTC has partnered with XRHealth and engineering firm Nord Space to dispatch HTC VIVE Focus 3 VR headsets to the International Space Station (ISS). This groundbreaking venture aims to provide astronauts with engaging activities and tailored mental health support, alleviating the challenges of extended missions in the vastness of space.

The HTC VIVE Focus 3 headsets deployed to the ISS come pre-loaded with specialized software designed to cater to the unique mental health requirements of astronauts.
