The <i>ReVITAL</i> project is a joint initiative developed by the Research Center for Well-being and Social Inclusion (CIBIS) at the University of Almería and the Almerian Federation of Associations of People with Disabilities (FAAM). This project represents an evolution of previous research carried out by the CIBIS-UAL team, focused on the use of immersive virtual reality as an innovative tool to promote psychological and emotional well-being in people with mild to moderate dementia.The main objective of <i>ReVITAL</i> has been to explore the therapeutic effects of exposure to virtual environments specifically designed to induce feelings of calm, emotional connection, and relaxation. These environments include bucolic landscapes, relaxing natural scenes, and places of special personal significance for the participants. Through these immersive experiences, the project has assessed physiological, psychological, and behavioral variables related to well-being, such as reducing anxiety levels and improving perceived quality of life.The preliminary results of the project have shown a high level of acceptance from both users and professionals involved, highlighting the potential of virtual reality as an effective and non-invasive strategy to address some of the emotional and social needs of people with dementia. Furthermore, the project has generated valuable applied knowledge that can be useful for implementing new therapeutic methodologies in clinical and residential settings.

<i>ReVITAL</i>项目是由阿尔梅里亚大学福祉与社会包容研究中心（CIBIS）与阿尔梅里亚残疾人协会联合会（FAAM）联合发起的一项倡议。该项目是CIBIS-UAL团队先前研究的延伸，此前研究聚焦于将沉浸式虚拟现实（immersive virtual reality）作为创新工具，以提升轻度至中度痴呆症（mild to moderate dementia）患者的心理与情绪福祉。<i>ReVITAL</i>的核心目标是探究暴露于特定设计虚拟环境中的治疗效果，这些环境旨在引发平静感、情感联结与放松状态。此类环境包括田园风光、舒缓自然场景以及对参与者具有特殊个人意义的场所。通过这些沉浸式体验，项目评估了与福祉相关的生理、心理及行为变量，例如焦虑水平的降低与感知生活质量的提升。项目初步结果显示，用户与参与专业人员均对其表现出高度认可，这凸显了虚拟现实作为一种有效且非侵入性策略的潜力，可用于满足痴呆症患者的部分情感与社会需求。此外，该项目还生成了宝贵的应用知识，有助于在临床及居住环境中实施新的治疗方法。
