視野外VR空間操作による認知症疑似体験システム

抄録

Dementia patients with memory impairment live their daily lives with a cognitive gap between the perceived environment and the real environment. In this study, we propose a VR system that can simulate part of the life of a dementia patient with memory impairment. The proposed system manipulates the surrounding VR environment that the user cannot notice while performing a series of the task, which expresses the difference between the recognized environment and the actual environment due to memory impairment. We implemented the system and conducted an evaluation experiment. We conducted a questionnaire to examine the impression of dementia before and after experiencing the system and investigated the effectiveness of the system from the difference.
