San Diego 4.0 is the world's first large-scale VR or Good community project. Our campaign will seek to validate the hypothesis that hyper-local Virtual Reality (VR) community experiences support seniors in feeling loved, connected, and empowered.
MISSION
San Diego 4.0 will help pioneer how new technologies overcome senior loneliness and isolation.
1. HYPER-LOCAL IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES
Our campaign will record hundreds of San Diego beaches, gardens, hiking trails, museums, and fun adventures. We will also provide online courses to teach new leaders how to create their own immersive VR experiences.
2. VR SENIOR LIVING STATIONS
San Diego 4.0 will provide these experiences to senior living organizations throughout San Diego (and beyond) for FREE. We'll work with local leaders to create VR Stations to deliver our VR Trips safely.
3. RESEARCH
The campaign will partner with national and regional researchers on various topics. Our mission is to continue validating the use of our new tools to support seniors.
LONELINESS AND HEALTH
Loneliness has a significant impact on the physical and mental health of seniors. Studies have found that loneliness increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and depression.
LONELINESS AND DEPRESSION
A recent Journal in Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology concluded that loneliness was found to be a significant predictor of depressive symptoms among seniors.
REDUCING AGITATION
VR beach experiences have been shown to reduce agitation in people with dementia (Garcia-Betances et al., 2015).
IMPROVING MOOD
VR garden experiences have been validated to improve the mood of dementia patients (Bamidis et al., 2014)
