Mixed Reality

• Mixed Reality is examining the potential of new technologies - Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality – to benefit older adults with dementia or Mild Cognitive Impairment

  1. We are using games to see how people with dementia or MCI navigate between the real world and virtual worlds

  2. These include the Xbox Kinect where movements in the real world control actors in the virtual world (see also Kinect Bowling [insert link]

  3. The results will help us understand what features are important and what are the challenges for people with dementia or MCI

  Funding for Mixed Reality was received from AGE-WELL NCE
