Abstract

The loss of autonomy that comes with being in the care of others has a significant impact on the emotional well-being of people with dementia (PwD). Our research aims to investigate key design factors when creating Virtual Reality (VR) non-pharmacological interventions to improve their emotional wellbeing and enhance their interactions with caregivers. This paper, presents the iterative design and initial evaluation of a VR system aiming to enhance the procedure of admitting VR interventions.
