Description
Lillian Hung and co-authors study virtual reality for social life in care homes in a 2023 paper. VR gear now fits old folk, and homes seek ways to cut lone hours. Two Canadian homes ran week VR group meets from January 2023. Twenty residents of mixed mind and body strength joined in. Staff led the meets; watch notes and talks caught the acts. Ten staff groups added their view.
Three themes rose from the reads. Tale-telling in VR built each resident's sense of self. Good moods stuck past the clip's end, even when the clip was lost to mind. VR also sparked talk mate to mate and staff to mate. Patient partners co-ran the theme work. The authors call VR a fit, warm tool for home life.
