Abstract

Older adults experience several diseases related to the habits of their daily lives, many times resulting in cognitive problems when they reach ages that overcome eighty years. This work presents the development of an application aimed at older adults, integrating scenarios in virtual reality to facilitate the immersion of people with signs of memory loss. Through the application, various tasks related to daily activities, professions, face recognition and weekend games are proposed, all evaluated to show scores at the end of the activities. As a result, the work presents real experiments executed to validate the proposal, showing first and third person views within several built virtual environments.
