Learning to understand dementia
Into D’mentia, Chronosphere | IJsfontein
The quality of care can be improved through understanding and empathy. Creating more understanding and empathy around dementia and increasing the quality of life is what Into D’mentia stands for.
Whereas a travelling interactive exhibit was developed in 2012, in collaboration between several healthcare institutions and universities, about 10 years later, the idea was to see how this experience could be spread to a larger group of carers – without the logistical problems of transporting a container. With this, Into D’mentia VR was born.
During the Chronosphere study, we worked with IJsfontein to explore the power of volumetric captured characters to make the personal interaction come across with believability during the VR experience.
The results of this study were so positive that a follow-up project to develop several scenarios has already been launched in 2022. Fascinated or curious about the project? On our blog, you will find a detailed article about this project.
