Inovia Kedaireka UGM 2024 is a cutting-edge VR project designed to alleviate children's fear during dental treatments by leveraging immersive technology. Evolving from a 2014 smartphone-based VR initiative, it now features a modern VR application compatible with the latest headsets and a web-based dashboard for dentists to manage patient data.

Virtual Reality Platform
Overview
INOVIA, short for “Innovation of View and Auditory”, is a Kedaireka-based project, building upon a smartphone-based VR initiative developed by Drg. Anti in 2014. The project is designed as an assistive tool to alleviate children's fear during dental treatments by leveraging immersive technology.
Problem Statement
The original VR Inovia project, developed in 2014, has become outdated in terms of modern VR technology and implementation. Updating this project is crucial to ensure its relevance and effectiveness in addressing children's anxiety during dental treatments, utilizing the latest advancements in VR technology.
Objectives
The goal is to redevelop the INOVIA project into a modern solution comprising:
1. A VR application compatible with contemporary VR headsets.

KESUSASTRAAN, KEHANCURAN
The last Covid-19 pandemic fulfilled our helplessness as humans, while also renewing our perspective on the world.
No matter what we sensed, things were no longer the same. “KESUSASTRAAN, KEHANCURAN” was written during that crucial time and feels reflective if we read it now. The idea of destructiveness is a contextualized option to formulate the post-pandemic situation.
Martin highlights it through a cultural approach, with a treat in the form of a review of history and literary works. In the end, the world we live in is not okay.
Penerbit Velodrom presents it to readers with the intention of archiving the thoughts that mark the times.
