Asheville VA Veterans eXperience August 7, 2024 

On Aug. 7, 2024, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., the Office of Healthcare Innovation and Learning (OHIL) and Western NC VA

Health Care System will host Veterans eXpeRience (VXR) – Showcase of Immersive Technology.

Veterans are invited to attend throughout the day to experience extended reality (XR) as it is being used to deliver care within our facility and across VHA.

VA is transforming the way Veterans receive and access their health care through virtual, mixed, and augmented reality – collectively call XR. VXR will give our nation’s heroes a firsthand opportunity to learn about and engage with these immersive technologies.
