Alzheimer's Eyes Challenge (2018)
Demographic projections of many Western democracies show them to be aging nations. To keep thriving, we must ensure that our citizens are aging in a healthy manner without isolation from society. Alzheimer's disease is one of the most misunderstood conditions of our aging population, and is a problematic condition for caregivers and family members to support. This project seeks to build a mixed reality environment that allows users to experience some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's in the form of serious games. By gamifying the notion of the somewhat controversial notion of the "empathy machine," the project makes a novel social impact on the general population.
