A Walk Through Dementia is an innovative virtual reality app developed by Alzheimer’s Research UK, the UK’s leading dementia research charity.

Optimised for use with a Google Cardboard headset, but can also be experienced headset-free, the immersive app puts you in the shoes of someone with dementia to give an insight into the varied symptoms people with dementia can experience in everyday life. Please note that A Walk Through Dementia will only work on devices equipped with a gyroscope for cardboard compatibility. You can still experience A Walk Through Dementia in YouTube 360 videos at http://www.awalkthroughdementia.org/.

Voiced by Dame Harriet Walter, and with an introduction from Jon Snow, A Walk Through Dementia is designed to help users think beyond memory loss to gain a fuller understanding of the practical and emotional impact of the condition. The app uses a combination of computer generated environments and 360 degree video sequences to illustrate in powerful detail how even the most everyday task of making a cup of tea can become a challenge for someone with dementia.

Unfolding over three scenarios, the user is tasked with buying ingredients, taking them home and making a cup of tea for their family. A supermarket environment reveals difficulties at the checkout, counting money, reading the shopping list, busy environments and finding items. 

A second street sequence illustrates problems people with dementia may face with navigation, visual-spatial problems and disorientation. 

Finally, back at home, making tea for visiting family presents challenges around memorising instructions, visual symptoms and coordination problems.

Developed with the help of people living with dementia, and with support from UCL’s Dementia Research Centre, A Walk Through Dementia from Alzheimer’s Research UK is an innovative, free and unique perspective on a condition that affects 850,000 people in the UK.

    I'm very confused as for me, this app controls on the 360° tour just does not work, they dont make sense, the whole thing just spins in circles and regardless of which way i turn my phone its impossible to get through. Such an amazing idea of an app, just wish it worked 🙁

    very good. Perceptions and other peoples patience and ignorance has a massive impact better training and best practice with the national care standards is what we owe them

    Great app and really powerful to demonstrate the challenges people with dementia face daily. However, it can be very disorientating when using the cardboard viewer so please sit down when using as it is possible to fall over when using it.

    Really eye opening app but so heartbreaking to know that people with dementia go through this daily. Hope that funds for research increase in the future as a result of more awareness.
