In a study involving 19 residents at two different nursing homes, co-watching screenings were arranged with 360-videos produced in the local area by filmmakers. Data was collected through non-participant observation and semi-structured interviews with the participants. Input from nurses and facilitators were also collected. We found this to be a much appreciated, feasible, and enjoyable immersive experience improving short-term well-being, expressed through (e.g.) new conversations, pride in participation, and spontaneous movements. However, the value of co-watching was mainly captured for residents who already knew each other, and we found limited indications of virtual co-presence. We further recognized the value of the videos themselves and the desire for new 360-video experiences. But also, a need for better headsets suitable for older people and shared use at nursing homes to avoid social isolation due to the introduction of VR technology. %G English %Z TC 13 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-04331586/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-04331586/file/129320492-PDF.pdf %L hal-04331586 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-04331586 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC13 %~ IFIP-INTERACT %~ IFIP-LNCS-12932
