(0)What does the app do?
This app uses virtual reality to give an idea of the challenges faced by people with dementia. Using 3 everyday scenarios (at the supermarket, on the road and at home), users are given insight into some of the symptoms that people with different forms of dementia may experience. The aim is to provide a fuller understanding of the practical and emotional impact of the condition.

✔ Quick and easy to download, clear instructions. |
✘ Would be better with the cardboard cover that you need to make yourself – not sure how many people will actually do that. |
