“…Digital technologies extend the options for prompting reminiscence, allowing use of public and personal media tailored to individual interests and life history. 5 Researchers have explored reminiscence through mobile applications, 6 online media technologies 7 and through a simulated 'virtual world' 8 containing old media such as photographs, posters and radio.…”

Objective: Digital technologies can support reminiscence and lifestyle enrichment in residential aged care. This study explores potential benefits and risks of virtual visits using digital maps, tablet computers and virtual reality technologies. Methods: Reminiscence sessions were conducted with metropolitan aged care facility residents (n = 7), using digital mapping applications to 'visit' places of personal significance. Residents and family members (n = 4) were interviewed. Results: Some older adults found virtual visits valuable and all reminisced in various ways about personal, family and social experiences. Family members felt that virtual visits would be enriching for loved ones and that they supported sharing of life stories. Our results also highlight that VR usability improvements are needed to better suit older people. Conclusion:Virtual visits could offer valuable opportunities for positive reminiscence for some older adults in residential aged care. Digital technologies need to provide better support for older users and people who assist them.

“…When older adults with cognitive impairment and their caregivers watched personalized multimedia biographies together, the caregivers were able to better understand their patients and facilitate more social interaction [17]. Another study suggested a photo-based interaction system using social networking services (SNS), through which family members living away from each other can share photos and memories [7].…”

This study explores whether a life metaphoric game can effectively facilitate communication between senior participants and young adult partners during a life review activity. Life review provides older adults with opportunities to organize their past experiences, rediscover the meaning of life, and prepare for their future life and eventual death. We held workshops in which 33 senior participants (ages 51-85) co-played a commercial game, titled "Long Journey of Life," paired with young adult partners (ages 19-23). The young partners asked senior participants about their associated memories during the life review activity. Through inductive thematic analysis, we found seven communication themes during the life review activity: reminiscence, future and death preparation, life advice, appreciation and evaluation, small talks involving self-disclosure, interpretation of metaphors, and explanation of game control methods. We investigated the relationships between communication themes and game design elements that promote conversation. In addition, we identified how participants' responses to the game differ depending on the player's characteristics and generation. Game design suggestions for an effective intergenerational life review using digital games were offered.CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Empirical studies in collaborative and social computing.

“…We also demonstrate the powerful role artefacts can play in helping people to recollect previously forgotten memories. Given the immense interest in the use of technology-mediated reminiscence as a technique to assist people living with dementia [9,17,28,47,51], we believe that reminiscencefocused social VR applications that incorporate personal artefacts may be beneficial in assisting memory recall. However, we also note there is some evidence to suggest that head mounted displays may be distressing for people living with dementia [5].…”

Social virtual reality (social VR) is an emerging technology that has the potential to support unique social experiences for groups of older adults. In this paper we explore the use of social VR to support group reminiscence, an activity that has been shown to have a positive impact on the lives of older adults. We developed School Days, a bespoke social VR application that enables groups of geographically dispersed older adults to meet in a virtual environment to reminisce about their school experiences. We conducted a user study over the course of 5 months with 16 participants aged 70--81 to evaluate how School Days supported reminiscence. In this paper, we focus on how the use of reminiscence scaffolding features in School Days impacted on the older adults' ability to participate more fully in the reminiscence activities. Our results illustrate the value of social VR for connecting older adults over distance, and contribute new knowledge of how virtual environments can be designed to scaffold reminiscence; how techniques such as 3D conversation starters and individual artefacts can be used to scaffold reminiscence; and how pre-recorded holographic stories (Avacasts) can be used to introduce new perspectives and prompt self-reflection. We contribute five design reflections aimed at guiding the design of future reminiscence tools in social VR.
