VR technology is a unique audiovisual experience. While seated and with staff assistance, you will navigate through a 360-degree simulated reality, wearing headphones and a headset that completely covers the eyes, immersing the wearer in different scenes viewed through the headset's lenses. The headset detects movement, so slowly shifting the head left or right will allow you to explore more of each scene. Research shows VR can be a rewarding activity to try for older adults with memory loss because it engages the senses and encourages reminiscence.
