In this paper we present an interactive
lighting and sound art installation designed for the elderly with dementia
living in a confined area in an elderly care center. Inspired by lighting and
music therapies for dementia, as well as the social and cultural activities of
healthy elderly, the installation creates sensory stimulation and natural
atmosphere, aiming at bringing joy and happiness to dementia elderly in a dull
corridor. The technical details are briefly introduced, followed by evaluation
results.
