Build your photo wall

Problem: As society ages， the number of individuals with dementia increases proportionally. Reminiscence therapy (RT) is one of the interventions. It engages the elder with artifacts like old photographs or music to facilitate social interactions or increase self-esteem.

Goal : leverage the XR technology to facilitate Reminiscence therapy (RT). The Target users of this app are the elders.

The mechanic: Players need to complete jigsaw puzzles created from players' personal old photographs to earn photo frames and manipulate (rotate, move, scale) the photographs to create a photo wall.

Support Research: Previous research shows that crafts with personal contexts, like a photograph, are more likely to arouse their memory and emotion, and the jigsaw puzzle requires cognitive effort and has the benefits of reducing dementia risks.

In this app, I applied the: Custom Buttons, Dialog (Yes/No), Dialog(Ok), Object Manipulator, Vertical button grid Buttons, Bounds Control, Description panel, Horizontal app bar, and many other scripts/prefabs from the MRTK3.
