LifeLens - experience sensory challenges of dementia & ageing

Peer through the lens of dementia and ageing

Dementia is about more than memory loss. LifeLens provides deeper understanding through a highly realistic VR experience of sensory impairments often encountered by people living with dementia.

A virtual experience: empathic understanding for families and care teams

Experience the serious impact of visual and sensory loss often associated with dementia and age.

LifeLens uses virtual reality and sensory filters to emulate the effects of conditions faced by many thousands of people in the UK.

Families, health and care providers, and those designing environments, are immersed into a world where they can gain empathy with daily challenges.

Resulting understanding can help users create and deliver services, living spaces, and public areas, and make changes to enhance quality of life in the real-world.

A better understanding of daily challenges people face living with dementia:

Families, carers, and healthcare professionals such as GPs and nurses come closer to understanding dementia experiences, and can better respond to needs.

Experience disorientation that is a daily reality for so many people.
Lifelike empathy filters expose users to a range of commonly encountered sensory impairments.
Learn how small adjustments can have a big impact.
Help promote and enable independent living at home for longer.
Engage learners with an effective experience and high levels of retention.
Enhance dementia training and level-up skills in care settings.

A unique first-person perspective

"Previously working with dementia patients for over 8 years I thought I knew everything, but this has opened my eyes to how patients must feel in different situations."

"It was invaluable to get an understanding of what people go through who have these conditions. Reading about these things and then experiencing them was completely different."

"The one thing that became very apparent after the training, was how simple changes to someone’s home environment can have a significant impact on the way that somebody with either dementia or with eyesight issues sees their environment."

"This workshop provided me with a totally new level of perceiving life with dementia. It's one thing reading about dementia, it's another one to see it, hear it, feel it.’"
