Eeriest scene I've ever been witness to: a massive mountain of pure coal, and the fog making the coal plant looking like Dracula's tower.

Makeeda Bandele-Asante, farm assistant for the 2024 season at The Well at Oxon Run, poses at the farm and community wellness property operated by DC Greens in Washington, D.C., on July 3, 2024. Asante started in May and tends to the fields, harvests with community members and gives tours. “I love being outside. It’s a multi-dimensional experience for me to be able to farm, be in the sun, and exercise that way. I’m a registered dietitian, and food and nutrition mean a lot to me, so it’s almost like a daily lesson. Every day, I learn something new about food, nutrition, and herbs, and I just feel really connected to the outdoors,” Asante said. (Photo by Rhiannon Johnston/Chesapeake Bay Program)

Introduction:
Virtual reality is a technology increasingly being used in the field of dementia care. The emerging nature of this technology calls for the design of virtual spaces which are suited to the dynamic needs of older adults living with dementia. Research calls for adequate introduction and training relating to the technology. Therefore, the design of a familiarisation environment as a pre-requisite to extended VR use was considered important.
The familiarisation environment aims to:
Design a VR space which is evidence-based and tailored to the needs of older adults living with dementia.
Expose older adults with dementia to the basic functionality and interactions associated with fully-immersive VR.
Methods and Analysis:
The design of the VR space was informed by the findings of two systematic reviews (Flynn et al., 2021; Healy et al.,2021). The review findings were used to establish design guidelines and considerations for the VR space. These guidelines were used to inform a first-iteration prototype. The prototype was trialed by an advisory partnership which consisted of two people living with dementia.
Results and Findings:
Through iterative refinement of the prototype and incorporation of the views of the advisory partnership, the final prototype has been refined. This prototype will be evaluated as part of a participatory action research project. It is anticipated that the training environment will be used as a familiarisation tool for older adults living with dementia and their support person. The environment will be evaluated to explore it's perceived usability. This will provide useful information for the design of future VR spaces.
Conclusion:
The design of a VR training environment may provide a means of familiarising older adults living with dementia with the basic functionality of the technology and allow them to better engage in subsequent VR spaces.

As a part of the Environment Day celebrations students of Udgam School participated in a wide range of activities. The day began on a solemn note wherein the ways in which we are harming the environment were taken up alongwith the joint measures that need to be taken to save the planet. The celebration started with a pledge to save the environment in all possible ways. Soon the events began and students joined elocution, poster making, slogan creating, jingle creating, best out of waste and many such activities under the able guidance of their teachers. The children thoroughly enjoyed the activities especially being in a group and working together for a common goal, which is the essence of the school. No wonder even on a school holiday there were so many participants all agog to join in for the cause of the environment amidst some fun.

Staging environment is something which is suggested as best practice but considered as a burden. Many of us feel pounded with the thought of extra investment and effort involved to upkeep it.
