Catapult Games Inc. was created by a group of recent college grads who wanted more virtual reality games for commonly used systems like the PlayStation 4, and the company is also aiming to expand into the physical therapy market.
With more and more research suggesting the power of virtual reality in relieving pain, Catapult Games is looking to partner with physical therapy clinics in order to gain some traction in the health industry. The developers and company founders are hoping that with their game, researchers are able to prove whether this form of pain relief has any long-term impacts, in addition to the short-term temporary impacts that research has shown it has.
As for now, the company's game Don't Look Down is a virtual reality climbing game that the brand hopes is both entertaining and purposeful.
