![]() ![]() Numerous studies have reported that reminiscence therapy is highly effective in this regard. Therefore, efforts must be made to prevent and alleviate dementia in elderly people in Taiwan. In particular, the prevalence of dementia among elderly people may exacerbate Taiwan’s economic burden. For example, cases of aging-related diseases, such as dementia, have increased, causing problems and difficulties for elderly people in their daily lives. Consequently, problems related to aged societies have surfaced. In fact, Taiwan has become one of the fastest-growing aged societies worldwide. The visualized reality system developed in this study can further promote the social interactional satisfaction of elderly people.įollowing a decline in Taiwan’s birth rate and the evolution of medical technology, the proportion of elderly people in the country has risen annually. Through reminiscence therapy, memories and thoughts can fully be activated as a therapy for elderly people. Through nostalgic elements triggered by the AR/VR three-dimensional model and video/audio interaction, the feasibility of our integrated system for reminiscence therapy is thus verified. It is shown that the developed 3D ancient building model can be used by Samsung Note 5 smartphones as well as VR CASE glasses to increase the immersive experience for the elderly. With the model constructed under 3ds Max, the reminiscence therapy system integrated by virtual reality and augmented reality is then established by the Unity engine. ![]() The special effects are joined using After Effects. Images taken by an LG 360 CAM are primarily introduced into Power Director 360 as the guide interface. This study integrated virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to construct a visualized reminiscence therapy system, which provides not only reminiscence entertainment but may also aid in dementia prevention for healthy and sub-healthy (a therapeutic working concept which defines an intermediate stage between health and disease) elderly people. Through virtual interaction and multivariate communication, the social interaction and life satisfaction of elderly people can be improved. ![]()
