Abstract(s)
This study aimed to examine the feasibility of promoting reminiscences with people with dementia, using 360° videos presented with virtual reality headsets. Four individual sessions were conducted with nine people with dementia. Average duration of the exposure was approximately ten minutes. The experience appeared to be pleasant for most of the participants (with the exception of one of the participants who reported visual limitations). Most participants shared positive memories while viewing the recordings. None of the participants experienced any significant increase in symptoms associated with nausea and disorientation.
