Open Day at Knock Airport for innovative tech

A unique open day from one of Mayo’s leading tech innovators will take place at Ireland West Airport in July.
SPINI VR will host an exclusive open day at the airport on July 18 showcasing innovative regulation tools for neurodiverse travellers.
Travellers and the public will get a firsthand experience of the revolutionary SPINI VR regulation tool which is designed specifically to support neurodiverse individuals.
SPINI VR provides a calming, immersive experience that helps users self-regulate before or after flying, whether they’re arriving at or departing from the airport. It combines a virtual reality headset with soothing sensory content and an innovative rotational chair to provide rapid, effective regular.
For travellers who find the sensory overload of flying or airport environments challenging, this tool offers a safe, private, and empowering way to ground and recharge. It’s also ideal for use in hotel environments post-flight, offering a unique wellness feature for neurodiverse guests and families.
Founder Brian Lavelle of Global VAM Ltd, a native of Belmullet, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership with Ireland West Airport.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Ireland West Airport, a facility that truly understands the importance of accessibility and inclusivity. Showcasing SPINI VR here is a step forward in making air travel less stressful and more supportive for neurodiverse individuals. It’s exciting to see airports take a lead in offering services like this.”
“SPINI VR is part of a broader movement to make public spaces, especially high-stress environments like airports, more inclusive. This event marks a major milestone in SPINI VR’s mission to empower neurodiverse individuals and their families through thoughtful, tech-forward support,” said Brian.

Attendees at the Open Day will have an opportunity to try the SPINI VR system and learn about the science behind its regulatory benefits. Parents, educators, carers, and travellers of all ages are welcome to attend and discover how SPINI VR can make a difference in the travel experience.
The event takes place all day and entry is free. No booking is required.
