We will connect immobile people to mobile people, who will be able to show them the outside world again.

0:00:24.000,0:00:26.000
Goodmorning!

0:00:26.000,0:00:29.000
We received a parcel.
- Look at the table.

0:00:35.000,0:00:38.000
Yes, it is quite small. But that's the point, right?

0:00:38.000,0:00:43.000
We received the headset today.
I'm currently wearing it on my head.

0:00:43.000,0:00:46.000
We just tested it with the tv and it works.

0:00:46.000,0:00:53.000
We are now checking if we can get it to work with Skype and not just the tv.

0:00:54.000,0:00:59.000
The computer has to recognise the signal in the first place.

0:01:03.000,0:01:07.000
We are now at Weesperplein in Amsterdam.

0:01:07.000,0:01:11.000
We are going to Sarphatihuis
where we will have an appointment with Laurie.

0:01:11.000,0:01:15.000
We will see if we can test the Experience Extension with people in this nursing home.

0:01:18.000,0:01:24.000
If the target audience are people with dementia

0:01:24.000,0:01:28.000
I don't think that this would work because this might be going too fast for them.

0:01:28.000,0:01:35.000
If they are interacting with someone on the screen, I don't think that they would understand what they see.

0:01:35.000,0:01:39.000
They just don't know what it is.

0:01:39.000,0:01:45.000
I like the connection with the family and I think that it is something that these people are actually waiting for.

0:01:46.000,0:01:50.000
Back at Utrecht School of the Arts.

0:01:55.000,0:01:58.000
Here we go, the first time Experience Extension outdoors!

0:02:00.000,0:02:04.000
I can hear you clearly Ruben.
- I can see myself on the screen.

0:02:06.000,0:02:09.000
How do you see me?

0:02:10.000,0:02:12.000
Okay, so you can't hear me.

0:02:14.000,0:02:19.000
There are people waving at us
it works!

0:02:23.000,0:02:27.000
He wants us to take a beer back home for him.
- What kind of beer?

0:02:32.000,0:02:38.000
I can't believe that what we came up with actually works!
- Yes it just works, amazing.

0:02:38.000,0:02:41.000
Ruben, here is your beer.
- Yes, thank you.

0:02:42.000,0:02:47.000
We are going to connect immobile people with mobile people who could show them the outside world again.

0:02:47.000,0:02:52.000
The mobile person uses a camera, a microphone and a netbook that is connected to the mobile internet.

0:02:52.500,0:03:00.000
The immobile person gives instructions to the mobile person by audio communication, this way the mobile person becomes the eyes and ears of the immobile person.

0:03:00.000,0:03:07.500
The mobile person carries a camera on his or her head while walking in the outside world. The immobile person sees a live video stream on the computer back home.

0:03:07.500,0:03:13.000
The immobile person shares personal memories with the mobile person of the familiar places that he or she is visiting.

0:03:13.000,0:03:17.500
By looking at these images, the immobile person can retrieve happy memories.

0:03:17.500,0:03:22.000
And because we would like to think of the environment, the equipment of the mobile person runs entirely on solar energy.

0:03:23.000,0:03:27.000
We are on our way back to the Sarphatihuis.

0:03:27.000,0:03:32.000
We will meet a woman who would like to try the Experience Extension with us.

0:03:35.000,0:03:39.000
This is Floor. She is a resident of this nursing home.

0:03:39.000,0:03:43.000
She would like to see Artis.

0:03:43.000,0:03:47.000
This is Anton, he is going to wear the Experience Extension

0:03:48.000,0:03:53.000
We are first going to Artis and then turn the system on so that we have the longest battery life.

0:03:53.000,0:03:55.000
Floor would like to see the animals in Artis.

0:04:02.000,0:04:04.000
This is great.

0:04:06.000,0:04:10.000
He looks at me now.
- Nice hey.

0:04:13.000,0:04:18.000
He is bowing for me.
- This is really great.

0:04:20.000,0:04:24.000
It is never nice to see those bars in front of the animals.

0:04:25.000,0:04:29.000
It bothers me just as much as it bothers you.

0:04:29.000,0:04:34.000
They are coming right at us.
Oh no, they don't.

0:04:34.000,0:04:38.000
It looks nice and so close.

0:04:38.000,0:04:43.000
My head is right above the water, one extra centimetre extra and I will fall in.

0:04:44.000,0:04:48.000
I would not mind the extra centimetre.

0:04:48.000,0:04:53.000
Look look!
- Oh yes, specially for you.

0:04:53.000,0:04:58.000
Yes, specially for me. I told you he would clap for me.

0:04:58.000,0:05:02.000
Yes, this is really cool. That this is possible.

0:05:02.000,0:05:06.000
There is a sign here, it says Kooana. It is some kind of lama.

0:05:07.000,0:05:10.000
Guala? What did you say?

0:05:11.000,0:05:15.000
It is a very difficult name, Kuanako.

0:05:16.000,0:05:20.000
Nice isn't it?
- Yes very nice.

0:05:21.000,0:05:24.000
Nice screen quality too isn't it?

0:05:29.000,0:05:34.000
I will be at the town centre and you can tell me where you would like me to walk to.
- Okay.

0:05:35.000,0:05:42.000
Mr. Apell will be the immobile person and will guide me through Hilversum.

0:05:42.000,0:05:45.000
He is interested to see in a few things.

0:05:51.000,0:05:54.000
Alright, here he is.

0:05:55.000,0:05:59.000
I walked around the music platform.

0:06:02.000,0:06:05.000
So this is what he hasn't seen yet as well.

0:06:05.000,0:06:9.000
I can see it now, great, nice place!

0:06:12.000,0:06:17.000
I used to sing there!
At night, keeping the neighbourhood awake.

0:06:21.000,0:06:24.000
Awesome, my voice was like coal.

0:06:24.000,0:06:29.000
On the other site is the Spijkerpantje with a small restaurant.
- Yes, over there!

0:06:29.000,0:06:36.000
And on the other site is the old Town Hall with the stairs.
There is the Spijkerpantje in the middle with a fence in front of it.

0:06:40.000,0:06:46.000
What is that?
- The old church, the big church and the Christian church.

0:06:48.000,0:06:53.000
Are you a religious man?
- Yes

0:06:58.000,0:06:56.000
What I am experiencing with Mr. Apell right now, is exactly what we had in mind with Experience Extension.

0:06:56.000,0:07:15.000
He shares his memories in such an enthusiastic way, that I could really notice that he enjoys it to retrieve those memories.

0:07:15.000,0:07:22.000
And I think that it is absolutely amazing that I can be part of his memories.

0:07:22.000,0:07:26.000
This was your store?
- Yes

0:07:26.000,0:07:33.000
How long did you have this shop?
- I had this shop for 35 years.

0:07:48.000,0:07:52.000
Nice coats are hanging in here.

0:07:53.000,0:07:58.000
The price, it is all there. Beautifull

0:07:58.000,0:08:01.000
Nice shop isn't it?

0:08:14.000,0:08:18.000
You are Chiel?
Do you know Mr. Apell?

0:08:18.000,0:08:21.000
Yes
- He can see you now

0:08:21.000,0:08:23.000
He can see me now?
- Yes

0:08:23.000,0:08:26.000
Hi Theo!
- Hi Chiel!

0:08:26.000,0:08:30.000
How is this possible?
- He says hi Chiel!

0:08:31.000,0:08:36.000
You are retiring aren't you?
- I hear that you are retiring?

0:08:37.000,0:08:41.000
You have become more fat Chiel

0:08:41.000,0:08:47.000
I heard that you have increased in size.
- Me? Let's keep it more polite there on that other side.

0:08:47.000,0:08:50.000
I'm only repeating what I hear.

0:08:52.000,0:08:59.000
I'm very curious to what he has to say.
- Yes, especially to the first thing that he'll say when we walk in.

0:09:00.000,0:09:04.000
How did it make you feel to see your shop again?

0:09:04.000,0:09:08.000
Happy experience to see everything again. Especially that old boss.

0:09:08.000,0:09:11.000
The last time was about 34 years ago.

0:09:11.000,0:09:16.000
I thought it was absolutely amazing. It was almost like I was really there.

0:09:17.000,0:09:21.000
At one time I forgot that I was wearing this equipment.

0:09:21.000,0:09:29.000
I can't walk anymore. This is an ideal solution for me, I never had these feelings before.

0:09:31.000,0:09:41.000
The fact that Anton was carrying a camera with him and I said left, right..

0:09:41.000,0:09:49.000
It was great because he was basically my legs.

0:09:51.000,0:10:00.000
It is hard to explain in words but I had tears in my eyes because I could finally see some things again.
