History
OriginsOriginally, Changingday was an autism-focused charity founded in the 2000s by husband-and-wife team Nick and Alison Lang, who wished to provide support and events for the community after their daughter was diagnosed with autism.
VR for AutismIn 2018, the couple stumbled upon research which strongly suggested that the immersive nature of virtual reality could be therapeutic or even beneficial for autistic people. So began a long journey to creating their first videogame: BLINNK and the Vacuum of Space, an autism-friendly VR adventure.
