We describe a proof-of-concept of VITA, two-year project started in the fall 2023, aiming to develop innovative dual cognitive/motor training for healthy older adults an Augmented Reality (AR) environment intended foster behavioral change processes, promote general cognitive and physical functioning, social interactions. Previous work, fact, always focuses on individual, either or motor, training. In paper, project's initial work is presented, consisting AR which users can perform motor tasks, such as catching balloons with ring avoiding falling rocks, simultaneously
