Fostering and Adoption

Cornerstone VR's virtual reality films are revolutionising the fostering and adoption sector by providing immersive, empathetic experiences that help foster and adoptive parents and caregivers better understand the emotional and psychological needs of children in care.

These VR films simulate real-life scenarios, allowing viewers to step into the shoes of foster and adopted children and experience their challenges and emotions firsthand.
