Summary

The pilot study will be a novel investigation of the usability and feasibility of leisure activities-based fully immersive VR cognitive training systems for cognitive training. We will recruit healthy aged individuals and occupational therapists for usability plus feasibility evaluation and perform the comparison of the effect with the developed VR intervention on psychological, daily life function and quality of life outcomes in populations experiencing cognitive decline. The fully-immersive VR system applied with horticultural therapy will be conducted in cognitive training and it was equipped with a headset and a pair of controllers for motion estimation and monitoring in a virtual environment. The findings of the research will effectively lead to advancement of the fully immersive leisure-based virtual reality cognitive training for elderly with cognitive decline.

Conditions

  • Fully Immersive Virtual Reality

Interventions

DEVICE

Fully-immersive VR

For fully-immersive VR sets the highest level of immersion of VR technologies, presenting improvement in cognitive function in cognitive decline seniors. Fully immersive VR-based cognitive training also has a positive effect on psychological performance.

BEHAVIORAL
