This project provides the easiest possible access to heritage elements that older persons with Alzheimer's disease or related diseases knew well but to which they no longer have access due to the motor and functional dependencies they present. It will strengthen the possibilities of reminiscence by using, rather than the usual supports, virtual reality technology to reinforce the immersion effect. It will involve carrying out virtual reality reminiscence workshops intended for residents in nursing home with Alzheimer's disease or related diseases and allowing them to explore the heritage of towns and villages in the Somme region thanks to these innovative solutions. The aim of this project is to reduce behavioral disorders and improve their quality of life.
