3D Interactive Immersive Experience in Hospital and Long-Term Care

This study proposes to address these gaps using 3D Interactive Immersive Experience technology. By leveraging advanced 3D projection and sensor systems, the project will create accessible, engaging, and interactive virtual environments without reliance on headsets. Research will be conducted with older adults living with dementia in both a hospital unit and a Canadian LTC facility, employing Human-Centered Design to define user needs and system requirements. Implemented in three phases—planning, on-site intervention, and evaluation—this co-development strategy aims to enhance resident well-being, promote ethical data use, and explore large-scale feasibility. Findings will inform integration strategies, fostering the safe and effective use of 3D immersive technology in dementia care.
