THE SCIENCE BEHIND DEVAWORLD

DevaWorld In Action

When Maria is playing DevaWorld, her tremor abates.
Here’s a great example of ‘self engagement’. Our memory care resident finds a transistor radio on the garden bench.
A resident finds the Greek records. Her singing is infectious: soon, a group gathers and gets involved.

Grounded in science

Deva World was built from the ground up with a residential community receiving full-time memory care, informed by dementia therapy best practices.

The caregiver/player relationship is integrated at the design level. This joint experience is key to players’ improved mood and sense of wellbeing.

The project was developed by Australian creative media-maker and social-scientist, Mandy Salomon PhD, who, while researching online virtual communities at Melbourne’s Swinburne University, observed that people can be more themselves in a virtual world than they can in the actual world.
