ICT371 | VR Alzheimer's Emulation Prototype Casual Demo
Prototype demo begins at 5:45
This is a casual, unassessed demonstration from 2024 shows the rough conceptual prototype of our educational 'serious game' for ICT371, where a specific project was prescribed to us by a "client".
This project aims to emulate life as an Alzheimer's patient; what they would experience, common methods to keep Alzheimer's patients engaged and cognitively active (such as 'games' using motor and memory functions), and what it is like for patients to interact with others such as carers. The emulation is presented from the Alzheimer's patient's point of view. The project's target demographic is high school audiences.
This project was implemented using the Unity Engine. Specifically, we used Unity's XR Toolkits to implement a lightweight VR application which is designed to be used with Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3 VR devices. The experience is written using Unity's C# scripting interfaces.
All 3D assets present in the environment were purchased from the Unity Asset Store.
