A VDE™ session takes the participant through a multi-sensory simulation using light, sound, colour and visual content to immerse you into the lived experience of a person with dementia.

The multi-award winning Virtual Dementia Experience™

Created in collaboration with Melbourne game developers, Opaque Multimedia, in consultation with carers, people with dementia and our educators, the VDE™ is an innovative use of game technology to deliver experiential learning aimed at increasing empathy.

Play Video

This 2 hour workshop enables participants to understand the environmental elements that are friendly or hostile, by allowing them to experience a home environment in the same way a person with dementia would. Participants are encouraged to reflect on their own approach to dementia support and to think about ways in which they can make their own environments more supportive.

Delivered in a purpose-built training room located in Melbourne, Victoria.

I had an 8 hour shift in the facility the next day and I was able to use the experience several times, in different ways, throughout the day. It was such an incredible feeling!
