Knowledge about the use of technologies has become necessary in contemporary culture, regardless of age, influencing self-worth and developing daily activities and relationships. The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of the virtual environment on the improvement of the perception of cognitive ability and on the improvement of the mood states of the elderly. The methodology used was quantitative, quasi-experimental and cross-sectional, with pre and post intervention measures. The application was in a group and had an average duration of 40 minutes in each moment, the final sample being composed of 25 elderly people with mean age equal to 64.92 (?? 3.74).A structured questionnaire was applied with the sociodemographic measures, the states of anxiety (BAI-II) and depression (BDI), the WHOQOL-bref, which evaluates the quality of life and the MIAr, which investigates the metamemory. Descriptive statistics and distribution measures, correlation analysis and regression were used in the analyzes. The results showed a higher concentration of females (60%). As for mood states, there was no significant difference between pre- and post-intervention data. With regard to the quality of life added to the mood state there was a trend of improvement in the psychological domain (p???0.07). The t test paired showed significant differences in the social relations domains (p ???0,0001), total quality of life (p???0.01) and trend in the environmental domain (p???0.07). MIAr revealed an increase in the perception of those with poor memory (20-32%) and those who had a good memory (16-32%). It was concluded that there were important changes in some domains related to quality of life and in the metamemory of the evaluated elderly.
