For the elderly, memories are an important source of joy, pleasure, and can give a sense of security. Films, TV programs, and music from earlier times are proven effective means to keep those memories alive or bring them back to life. Unfortunately, the entertainment offerings no longer cater to the needs of those who are of age: today's entertainment often doesn't align with their interests, and entertainment from their own time is often difficult to find, especially if you're not adept at searching the internet.
To accomodate for this target audience we developed an immersive 360 experience called "De Huiskamer van Toen,". A roadshow that took “De Huiskamer van Toen” to various senior care facilities to evoke nostalgia and stimulate memory recall. Participants were invited to enter “De Huiskamer van Toen”, a specially designed booth resembling a 1950s living room. Once inside, they were presented with a 360 animation featuring archival video footage of significant events such as; the first landing on the moon, cultural touches like performances from Andre van Duin, Ome Willem, or historic sports victories such as the Netherlands' World Cup win, and cherished traditions like the Elfstedentocht.
