On Wednesday afternoon, residents of the Kandélys nursing home, in Landévant, were able to discover virtual reality thanks to a media library and a digital culture trunk loaned to the administrative media library, the Panama Fund. “Of the 24 residents of the establishment, more than half expressed curiosity and were in a hurry to discover distant horizons or simply to see places they knew well, but whose health condition no longer allowed them to visit. ‘Go,’” explains Isaline Derrien, director of Dar the elderly.
“I really feel like walking”
“A realistic headset presented in a beautiful box comparable to a small box, suitable for seniors, discoverers and 360-degree sports, as if you were there, without moving from your seat,” defines Marina Nicholas. Martine chose to visit a tropical garden and commented, “It’s so beautiful and full of colour, you really feel like you’re walking the garden paths, you have the feeling of being there and maybe you could try making a little corner like that here.”
The direction of Mont Saint-Michel
For the next person, who wasn’t on a long trip, I preferred a location near the area that “reassured” her, which is the Mont Saint-Michel destination. “More than 70% of people appreciate the activity and talk about it with great joy for several days,” says Isalene Derin who adds, “We encourage activities in partnership with outside speakers such as this animation with the media library, and we will soon resume beachfront picnics and gardening activities and keep eating meals which are very popular. Given the enthusiasm observed during these demonstrations, it is entirely possible that the experience will be repeated.”
