The focus of TACTILE is to develop a mixed reality (MR) software for elderly people for playing board games and doing physical training exercises on MR glasses. The MR environment will support the high usability of the overall system by combining a common board game setup (including real game pieces) with virtual game pieces. The system recognizes the real game parts on the gaming board of player A and sends this information to player B where they are represented by virtual game parts. This process is bidirectional and so the two spatially separated players can play one single game together.

Category: User Experience
A set of virtual experiences VIREAS (The Set) has been developed based on several tests and studies among care home residents. The Set contains three virtual experiences: "Walk through a Forest," "Walk through the City Center," and "Travel." The interactive design combines computer graphics and 360?pictures. The Set is designed to positively influence older adults' self-expression and self-confidence, motivate them and stimulate their curiosity. The Set allows older users, especially those in care homes, to see places they cannot visit in the real world and brings them new stimuli they can share with others. The software VIREAS is beneficial mainly in care homes as tool for keeping residents active. The conceptual manual Virtual Reality and Its Use in Care Homes and Beyond focus both on the technical matters of virtual reality use and aspects of the virtual experience, together with the procedures that will make it possible to fully utilize the potential of this method.
