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.

Journal paper: Abstract: The World Health Organization (WHO) strives to assist and inspire cities to become more ?ge-friendly? and the fundamentals are included in the Global Age-Friendly Cities Guide. An age-friendly city enables residents to grow older actively within their families, neighbourhoods and civil society, and offers extensive opportunities for the participation of older people in the community. Over the decades, technology has become essential for contemporary and future societies, and even more imperative as the decades move on, given we are nearly in our third decade of the twenty-first century. Yet, technology is not explicitly considered in the 8-domain model by the WHO, which describes an age-friendly city. This paper discusses the gaps in the WHO's age-friendly cities model in the field of technology and provides insights and recommendations for expansion of the model for application in the context of countries with a high human development index that wish to be fully age-friendly. This work is distinctive because of the proposed new age-friendly framework, and the work presented in this paper contributes to the fields of gerontology, geography urban and development, computer science, and gerontechnology.
