A simple pilot format
A Feelspace Connection Day is designed to let an aged care home trial the family-focused Feelspace experience with a small group of residents in one organised visit.
Rather than asking a facility to commit to a large program immediately, the pilot gives staff, residents and families the opportunity to experience the format in a real care environment.
That makes it easier to understand what the technology actually feels like in the room.
Who can take part
A participating home can nominate a small number of residents for the day.
Those residents may use Family Presence, Family Circle or Special Moments depending on what suits their circumstances.
The aim is to give each resident an experience that is personal rather than treating the day as a generic technology demonstration.
Families record remotely
Participating families can create their recordings on a smartphone and send them to Feelspace.
They do not need to travel to the facility for recording, and they do not need specialist equipment.
This is important because the pilot is intended to reduce barriers rather than create new ones.
Feelspace prepares the content
Once recordings are received, Feelspace prepares them for hologram presentation.
That includes the work needed to make the person appear correctly within the unit and to ensure the presentation is suitable for playback on the day.
The family therefore does not need to understand the technical side of the process.
What happens on site
Feelspace brings the hologram unit to the aged care home, sets it up and manages the presentation during the agreed session.
Staff receive a practical briefing, and residents experience their prepared presentations in the facility.
The purpose is to keep the day organised and simple for the home while still giving staff enough exposure to understand how the service could fit into normal operations.
Why a pilot matters
New technology can be difficult to evaluate from a brochure, website or video.
A Connection Day allows people to see the scale of the unit, the presentation quality, the resident response and the practical setup requirements for themselves.
That makes the conversation more grounded. A facility can decide whether the service has value based on a real experience rather than a sales pitch.
What Feelspace is learning
The pilot format is also valuable for Feelspace.
Every facility has different spaces, routines, staff structures and resident needs. Running Connection Days creates an opportunity to learn how the service works across those different environments.
That feedback can then shape how the wider service develops.
