In support of <\/span>The National Brain Appeal<\/span><\/a>\u2018s Rare Space Garden at The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Chelsea Flower Show 2023, we have partnered with The National Brain Appeal to launch an augmented reality garden (AR) experience that helps people with rare dementias.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018The Rare Space Garden Experience\u2019, which was developed by immersive reality agency <\/span>Arcade<\/span><\/a> using Meta Spark, uses technology that helps people living with cognitive conditions to create their own virtual garden using a smartphone or tablet. They can do this by selecting different horticultural and design choices inspired by the Rare Space Sanctuary Garden showcased at the 2023 Chelsea Flower Show, designed by Charlie Hawkes for The National Brain Appeal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jason, the son of a patient who has a rare form of dementia that can cause difficulties with seeing what and where things are, was invited to interact with the experience and learn more about the design and horticultural choices that were behind the Rare Space garden.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cArcade is all about connecting people to a place through play, so when Meta asked us to create a fun and educational world effect filter for this phenomenal cause \u2013 and equally fabulous garden \u2013 we couldn\u2019t possibly refuse. Filters are so often focused on the front camera, augmenting users\u2019 faces in brilliant and hilarious ways, but for us the rear camera and the way it fosters engagement with the world around us is such a powerful and still under-utilised approach. We\u2019re so grateful to the brilliant teams at Meta and The National Brain Appeal for trusting us to bring the Rare Space Garden to Instagram audiences all around the world\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re visiting this year\u2019s flower show or sat in your living room, The Rare Space Garden Experience uses AR to allow green fingered scrollers to experience this exciting garden in a whole new way. It will be accessible on the <\/span>National Brain Appeal\u2019s Facebook Page<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Instagram Profile<\/span><\/a> under the effects tab, and directly <\/span>here<\/span><\/a> for everyone to use.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, The National Brain Appeal\u2019s Rare Space won a Gold Medal in the Sanctuary Garden category.<\/span><\/p>\n
