Nice! I think tried something luke this at the Waterfront museum in Swansea a while back.. was that you?
Ilovebearsandkitties
could you do an online video or sth for those of us without VR sets? My dad has dementia, so I'm curious to see it
TriFreeks
Looks cool and informative. Ill give it a shot once i fix my controller
JhericFury
...first of all, why would anyone want this? Second of all, sign me up.
CelestialDancerChick
Wow. THIS is cool! Are you a psychiatrist? How'd you do this?

I just ordered a vr set to be here Monday, I will definitely give it a go

If I learn Welsh now I’ll be able to read the newspaper when I have dementia *Taps head*
OhMyCrapMoonCake
That's the disease everything turns to Welsh.

That’s no disease butt *eats Welshcake with a slight frown*

Will it run on Oculus Go?
vrready
no. Just the Rift at the moment.
dezrah
If you're ever going to port it to PSVR, please contact me, we'd love to talk about it on Without Parole Games.
TopCommenter
Highly intrigued. Leaving this here to remember once roommate has his VR.
blenn
As a physician working with dementia care I would appreciate it if you could share the link and, if possible, a longer video clip?
Jovelana
No thanks, got my own personal experience in real life and that was enough for me. But nice work OP
ragechild
Very cool!!! And i am sure you’re going to find sponsors for something like this... best of Lück, and thanksgiving for being a nice guy!;-)

Thank you for making it free! It seems as if a lot of work was put into it, congrats!

Should totally make this for pc for the people that don't have vr

Seconding a port, if possible. Would pay for that.

you missed an oppurtunity to say you 'forgot' to charge money... (I know that falls more under alzheimer, but still...)

Will it be available for Vive?
ThisUsernamelsNotAvailable
You could probably get it running using ReVive. That's what I'm gonna try
vrready
hopefully soon.
EhMonster
Did you ever get it to vive?
RaspberryRock
Really want to get next gen Vive. Have you heard any news about specs or release date? Also, really want to try your simulation. I'm sure
RaspberryRock
I'll be heading down that road someday.
WeaselBandit
Alright. Thanks for answering so quickly. I've followed you here on imgur and when it's available for Vive you better not forget posting. ;)

Me neither... I forgot.

Just today I spent like 5 minutes looking for my cigarette. It was in my mouth the entire time.

I think that's just called being a normal human idiot

Not meant to be mean btw
SinisterBillMurray
Awesome idea. I don't have VR but nice to see there's been a boost to local specialist care (newspaper is Welsh, not random letters)
JHawke
TBF Is welsh not just random letters.
SinisterBillMurray
Depends. If I'm writing in it then it is
johnnydarkside
Ah, I thought that was part of it that words looked garbled. No, they're just speaking in garbled.
TheRelevancyOfMyNameIsRelativelyIrrelevant
isn't that just welsh?
eetsumkaus
congratulations, that's the joke
SinisterBillMurray
I mean.. You're not wrong
davebeastly
Great idea. Especially if it helps families of people dementia understand the condition first hand.
vrready
It's actually called "Dementia First Hand" :)
writeerrightoff
I think I'll wait till the sequel dementia; the second hand
memeMyselfAnEye
That's... the contagion sequel...
shiyal
Which ones first? there’s two hands in the gif.

Could also be used to train people working dementia units at nursing homes.
ThisIsTheBestUsernameICouldComeUpWith
My nursing home tried something similar just a month ago, but no VR. Just sunglasses with blinders, headphones playing garbled sounds,
ThisIsTheBestUsernameICouldComeUpWith
Oversized gloves so we couldn't do fine motor tasks, and an instructor basically whispering instructions to you. It was very frustrating, so
ThisIsTheBestUsernameICouldComeUpWith
I guess that got the point across, but it was also super lame and low-tech. I'd MUCH rather do this
CraftedLine
They currently have a VR program many larger facilities use.

My mother in law was the compliance director at a nursing home; she did something like that. Swim goggles modified to simulate various 1/2
ihatewhitepeople
How does one experience dementia? I know what it IS, but I guess I dont know how it could be represented.
prinzessinmustapha
was wondering this as well. isn't it personally specific?
chevizosia
Wondering too. Maybe it's the setting; you're doing something but have no previous knowledge what it was? meet people who you don't know
chevizosia
even if you should? something like that
mayodash
I don't know what it IS
Totallyscrewedinaustin
Really? Or are you being facetious?
mayodash
Erm.. I thought it was to do with memory loss so I got confused about the post actually
memeMyselfAnEye
It also has to do with disconnection from reality i think
davebeastly
I'm not sure how it could be represented. My grandfather would start a task and then forget why he was doing it. E.g. Filling the kettle.
davebeastly
When I saw what looked to be the same situation in @op's footage above it resonated with me.
owgaaahddoisuuuuk
Dementia causes lots of symptoms such as loss of depth perception, loss of balance, auditory and visual hallucinations, they can lose the
owgaaahddoisuuuuk
Ability to read and also to understand sounds. They lose their taste also. An example is that a black rug on the floor or a puddle on the
owgaaahddoisuuuuk
Street is often mistaken for a hole that you could fall down. Also steps up and down cannot be perceived.
toogoodtomiss
Sounds terrifying
DreadZeppelin
Too bad I don't have any VR set. This seems very interesting.
thomerow
Sometimes there are Windows Mixed reality Headsets on sale! They are much cheaper than Rift and Vive and only marginally inferior imo.
HypoMix
Just duct tape your monitor to your face.
Hutchy01
Look at PC bundles, I got a quite good PC (It'll play everything on at least medium graphics) and a Lenovo mixed reality set for £600
flawlesssoul
That's a very good deal - the Lenovo Explorer (did you get controllers?) is an excellent headset
Hutchy01
Oh yeah the full kit, Skyrim has never been better (for short periods anyway because it gets a little warm but I might buy a desk fan)
flawlesssoul
Don't worry about it - modern hardware takes care of itself, fans will ramp up and cores slow down before it damages itself.
Hutchy01
The hardware is fine, the flesh on the other hand is weak.

Oculus quest coming oust spring
ihavenoideahowthisworks
That's going to be a big deal I predict
QuestionTwice
I’m praying that the usb c port will let me hook it up to my pc. I want dolphin Vr!
ihavenoideahowthisworks
Dolphin? What's that? What are the benefits
QuestionTwice
Dolphin is a Wii/GameCube emulator that lets you play those games on your pc. Dolphin vr let’s you play Wii/gamecube games in vr.
QuestionTwice
I’ve got all my favorite Wii and GameCube games on my pc.
AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
Sure you do. Remember Google Cardboard?

you can just use your phone - it's not pretty but you'll get the idea

I'm saving up. $5.00 a month, shouldn't take to long. I refuse to do the math.
MontyPythonQFHG
at least a month :p
bongles
Hey you'll maybe get it someday
samtherat6
I have a windows MR headset, could probably get it in as little as 2 years.
Runner55
Ten years ish? Maybe VR lens implants is a thing by then. Rats got AR lenses already

I have a Vive and trust me, it's awesome at first but there are so few games you end up in VRchat anyway.
TheGargathor
Or you start in vrchat and forget what real life is
BotBlau
Which is a fckin shithole by the way. Anime girls looking at themselves infront of a mirror all day (which are grown men). Have fun.

$350 for an Oculus Rift / $5 per month = 70 months or 5 years and 10 months
Dogchimp
But, what about the depreciation of a current Occulus rift over that time frame?
joniisi
In a way you can only win; by the time you have the money VR might have taken a giant step forward and you get better value!
ThomasThundersword
and as with all new tech it will get better and cheaper. (even the iphones rising price is still cheaper for performance then in years past)
iamyourfathersbrothersnephewscousinsformerroommate
People who buy iPhones are suckers
CarlosOfNightvale
Not everyone buys the $1000 newest gen iPhone, and some people want a convenient smartphone with a nice UI and consistent performance.
ThomasThundersword
side note on that, no one was supposed to buy the X it was the special phone for the ppl who wanted the best the 8 was the real next gen
ThomasThundersword
which it fits the usual price scale much better. but a lot more people went for it then expected.
