What are the effects of playing?
Cognitive effects
Games in this category help achieve cognitive effects. Everyone is challenged at their own level and there are lots of opportunities for practising and making mistakes.

These games can be used to elicit intuitive movements. The projections respond to even the smallest of hand movements of the players. This increases their self-confidence and motivates them to continue playing and moving.
Social effects
Fun is something you experience with each other. Games in this category promote interaction and social contact between care professionals, residents and loved ones who come to visit.

Stimulating the senses of an elderly person living with dementia has many positive benefits, including mood enhancement. In these games, this is achieved through the use of interactive images and sounds.
