Driving with Dementia

The VR driving simulator has been designed to be used by older people with medical conditions such as dementia to “re-live” the driving experience. Virtual driving scenarios modelled on the local township of Inverell, where McLean Care® provides home and community care services, residential aged care and independent living services, include important local buildings and landmarks to make the user’s experience as realistic as possible.

The simulator includes different road environments and realistic driving scenarios such as country driving, driving in town and responding to various levels of road traffic.
