Empowering Staff with LifeLens VR Training - Helping to Build Empathy with Sensory Challenges

LifeLens is a VR experiential learning platform which helps build empathy with the sensory challenges that can often accompany people living with dementia and ageing.

About LifeLens

LifeLens works well in a variety of environments. It can be cast to a screen at a conference or community event or be used for individual learning.

VR is making strides in improving the effectiveness of training. Research shows that virtual learners are up to 275% more confident to act on what they learned after training, they complete training 4 times faster meaning less time off-the-job and feel 3.75 times more emotionally connected to educational content than classroom learners. 

Kingdom Group staff said:

• Housing Officer:
  “It has given me a much better understanding of what effect visual and hearing impairments can have on a person.”
   
• Housing Officer:
  “How confusing it can be with colour and light and how this can lead to falls, trips, and accidents.”
   
• Executive Director, Kingdom Housing & Care:
  “The most impactful element for me was experiencing what it is like to live with glaucoma or macular degeneration.”
   
• Employability Officer:
  “Being able to see through the eyes of someone and experience how things would look was so helpful and would really complement the training we deliver during our care academy.”
