This study develops a training system for a multimodal comprehensive care methodology for dementia patients called Humanitude. Humanitude has attracted much attention as a gentle and effective care technique. It consists of four main techniques, including eye contact, verbal communication, touch, and standing, with more than 150 care elements. Learning to practice Humanitude thus requires considerable time. To provide an effective training system for Humanitude, we develop a HumanitudE AR Training System (HEARTS) realizing simultaneous sensing and interaction by combining a real training entity and augmented reality technology. This paper presents a new version of HEARTS named HEARTS 2 consisting of HoloLens 2, a soft doll, and a full-body wearable tactile sensor.
