Sing From Your Seat

Welcome to the Sing From Your Seat website!

This project enables an entirely new user community access to the exciting outputs of the Hills are Alive research project. In addition to taking a bespoke virtual reality (VR) experience to care homes in York to engage directly with the new audience of elderly residents, we will develop creative and innovative engagements with the care home sector whereby they can provide our experience as an activity via new technology workflows that enable free, easy access to the material within their resource and skills requirements.
