Summary

Background:

Immersive virtual reality (VR) technology is used by researchers to measure how people respond to complex stimuli in a controlled environment. Cognitive fatigue (CF) can result in serious consequences such as mistakes and accidents. Researchers want to see if VR can be used to learn more about CF.

Objective:

To test the user experience of a VR program designed to study individual differences in the susceptibility to develop CF in healthy people while performing activities of daily living.

Eligibility:

Healthy adults ages 18-75 from the Washington Metropolitan area

Design:

Participants will be screened with questions about their health and medical history.

The VR program simulates a real-world grocery shopping environment. Participants will be given a shopping task.

Participants will be seated. They will wear a head-mounted display (HMD) for 1.5 hours. The device is worn on the head. It presents images to the eyes. Eye-tracking data may be collected through the HMD.

The following will happen in the VR environment:

* Participants will be seated at a kitchen table. They will complete a pillbox task 2 times.
* Participants will be placed in a small grocery store. They will be trained how to use the controllers to shop.
* Participants will appear to be seated in front of a screen. They will be shown how to answer questions about how tired they feel and if the tasks are hard to do.
* Participants will be placed in a large grocery store. They will complete a shopping task.

Participants will complete surveys. They will also answer questions about the VR experience.

Participants will have 1 or 2 study visits. It will last 3-4 hours total.
