KEN: You know, we\u2019re very excited here on the EIB Network. As you know, we wrap up every program now on an EIB High Note, and we dedicate this to Rush and Rush Limbaugh\u2019s eternal optimism. He always admired creativity and ingenuity. You know, he was a tech wonk. He loved tech stuff.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s High Note, I think he\u2019s really gonna like it. Through the magic of VR, virtual reality, the Make-A-Wish Foundation turned 14-year-old cancer patient Belle Cress\u2019 imagination into reality by granting her wish of a trip to a medieval castle to train a dragon. But it didn\u2019t end there.<\/p>\n

After she took off the VR headset, the actual mythical creature that she had envisioned for years in her own drawings, they took that and brought it to life thanks so the company that took those drawings, and they created the dragon for her. Can you imagine how that must have felt to her, that level of empowerment? Take a listen to the project manager describing it and hear a bit of the dragon itself.<\/p>\n

VICTORIA PEA: It does wag its tail. It moves its head. It gives you a wing display. It does sit. It does lay down. We designed the animations and pre-programmed it to react accordingly. It\u2019s very much alive in its own way.<\/p>\n

DRAGON: (roar)<\/p>\n

VICTORIA PEA: Oh, my gosh! I did not expect it to look this way, look this good!<\/p>\n
