About the Author

Created by Second Wind, a non-profit organization committed to improving people’s perceptions of aging, the Virtual Dementia Tour allows health professionals, caregivers, and family members to experience the world of dementia. Participants are given tasks to perform while wearing distortion goggles and listening to constant background noises. And as a result, simple tasks suddenly become more difficult and even impossible.
