Abstract

Living In the Moment (LIM) was developed by the CIRCA team which investigates the efficacy of computer-based pastimes/activities for people with dementia. The multidisciplinary team brings together researchers from applied computing, the psychology of dementia, and computer aided design.

LIM is a series of bespoke computer games with an easy-to-use and engaging interface designed to accommodate first-time users. The innovative computer system, which utilises a large format touch screen and multi-media techniques, provides the user with engaging, stimulating and enjoyable activities. All the LIM Games were created with the idea that they would not need working memory (short-term memory) to operate and enjoy them.
