VR 鐵路車廂
St Vincent's Express 帶領長者院舍住客暢遊 10 個國家
St Vincent's Care Toowoomba 推出全球首創的虛擬實境旅遊體驗 St Vincent's Express,讓長者護理院舍住客足不出戶即可「遊歷」10 個國家。這個經無障礙設計改造的房間,變身為一節精緻餐飲火車車廂,配備沉浸式屏幕、聲音敘事,以及充裕空間,讓大家能在這趟共同的虛擬旅程中,與彼此建立有意義的連繫。住宿護理服務經理 Elzette Lategan 表示:「這項計劃的意義遠超於娛樂本身。」「這是一個創新方式,鼓勵腦部刺激、情感投入及社交連繫。」
這項沉浸式 VR 體驗認同,許多住客都渴望出國旅遊,但對很多人而言,這實在既不切實際亦不可能成行,而 St Vincent's Express 為各種行動能力的住客——包括患有認知障礙症或認知衰退的人士——提供了退而求其次的最佳選擇。

St Vincent's Care Toowoomba launched a first-of-its-kind virtual reality travel experience, St Vincent’s Express, designed to take senior care residents to 10 countries without leaving home. The accessibly designed room transformed into a fine-dining train carriage is equipped with immersive screens, audio storytelling and ample space for people to meaingfully connect with one another on a shared virtual journey. “This initiative is more than just entertainment,” said Residential Care Services Manager Elzette Lategan. “It’s an innovative approach that encourages mental stimulation, emotional engagement and social connection.”
This immersive VR experience recognizes that many residents would love to travel overseas, yet it's truly not practical or possible for many, and St Vincent’s Express offers the next best thing for residents of all mobility levels, including those living with dementia or cognitive decline.
