abstract = {In this Project, we developed a cognitive rehabilitation program for dementia patients, leveraging generative AI and virtual reality (VR) to evoke personal memories [4]. Integrating Open AI, DreamStudio, and Unity, our system allows patients to input descriptions, generating visual memories in a VR environment [5]. In trials, 85% of AI-generated images matched patients' expectations, although some inaccuracies arose from AI generalizations. Further validation with dementia patients is needed to assess memory recovery impacts. This novel approach modernizes Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), traditionally reliant on non-visual exercises, by incorporating AI and VR to enhance memory recall and visual-spatial skills. While the world is developing more and more into Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Virtual Reality (VR), our program successfully coordinates them to help stimulate dementia patients' brains and perform the memory recall and visual spatial aspects of CST. © 2024 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).},
