Jennifer Boger, Shi Cao and collaborators are investigating new ways to provide individualized exercise opportunities for older adults and persons living with dementia.
Together, they are working with a sample of Wentworth Heights residents to assess the VR system. The VR project is still in its early stages, with the end goal being to design a VR exercise program that can complement the needs, abilities and interests of its users.
Feedback from the residents of Wentworth Heights while in the early stages of development have heightened the potential impact of the VR system. The residents also seem to be quite engaged when interacting with the VR system.
