Animorph receives £300,000 Longitude finalist award for CrossSense
Animorph was awarded £300,000 to develop its CrossSense smart-glasses assistant as a Longitude Prize on Dementia finalist.
Animorph was named a Longitude Prize on Dementia finalist on 9 October 2024, receiving £300,000 to develop CrossSense, its augmented-reality assistant for people living with dementia.
The smart-glasses project provides prompts to help users recognise objects and people and navigate daily activities. The award supports development of the technology over the following 15 months, alongside support for co-design with people living with dementia.
The prize is funded by Alzheimer's Society and Innovate UK and delivered by Challenge Works. Five finalists each received £300,000, with a separate £1 million grand prize to be awarded in 2026.
