Snow World

Doctors often describe burn pain as the worst pain imaginable. For the past 16 years, burn patients have been getting some relief, thanks to a virtual reality game developed by researchers here at the University of Washington. We show how the game SnowWorld is being used by Harborview Medical Center and burn centers across the country.
