Experience SnowWorld 3 at the National Design Triennial: The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. September 28 2007 to January 6, 2008
Find it listed under psycologist and VR researcher, Dr. Hunter Hoffman.

''SnowWorld'' puts Pixar-like animation to medical use in a virtual video game that relieves the pain of burn victims. Try it. It is completely absorbing to pelt woolly mammoths and penguins with snowballs while your ears are filled with the irresistible strains of ''Graceland.''
