Ageing is accompanied by a high risk of developing physical or cognitive impairments, as well as a decrease in abilities to perform two tasks simultaneously, contributing to loss of autonomy. Interventions based on the performance of cognitive-motor dual tasks show positive effects on cognitive, physical and emotional development on dual-tasking capabilities. Exergames, interactive serious games combining physical activity and technology, are a certain type of cognitive-motor dual task training. These exergames appear to be cognitively effective, discussed on a physical level, not studied on dual task functions. It is likely that a dual task cognitive-motor with the support of a exercise leads to the same benefits as training without the need for special support. In addition, the exergames benefit from specific features such as a good immersion and a playful aspect that increase the participant's adhesion. Moreover, the level of security of this type of programme has been little studied. It is likely that cognitive-motor dual tasks training supported by an exercise programme leads to few undesirable events and good adherence. Many of the recommendations specific needs gaming state that it is important to develop systems that respond to the needs specific to the population concerned in order to be effective. Within the laboratory HAVAE has been developed a tool, the "virtual carpet": association between a video-projected scene and a monitoring system of position of the participants. This system makes it possible to use as a grid of play the cartography and iconography of the City of Limoges. The investigators suppose that this emphasis on local heritage will encourage the participants leaving their homes, thereby increasing their level of physical activity and their quality of life.
