Connect with Minifunkids

Active aging with virtual reality

It’s never too late
to play again.

Inclusive virtual reality sessions for older adults: short, supported, standing or seated, and designed to stimulate memory, movement and the joy of sharing.

Technology is
for you, too.

For many older adults it was their first time wearing a virtual reality headset, and this is how they experienced it. We want technology to reach everyone, because innovation has no age: it belongs to all of us.

What the science says

No promises,
just facts.

Research backs up what we see in every session. Recent scientific reviews find that virtual reality can help older adults improve memory and attention, gain balance and lose the fear of falling, and reduce anxiety and loneliness, especially when sessions are short and supported. It is a promising field that is still being studied, and that is how we tell it: no promises, just facts.

To learn more, the blog of Spain’s State Alzheimer’s Reference Center (CREA, Imserso) explains virtual reality as a prevention tool (in Spanish).

Real projects

We have already done it
with two city councils.

For city councils and care homes

Shall we see it in action
with your group?

If you work at a city council, a community center for older adults, a day center or a care home, we’ll show you how it works, with no obligation.
