“…Of these technological factors, realism is suggested to be of special relevance for immersiveness and thus training outcomes. Realistic VR environments are shown to support the execution of real-life motor tasks more so than less realistic VR environments [111]. In addition, healthy adults report to be more present in a realistic looking VR environment, for example when walking in the VR environment [112] or identifying with a virtual body [113][114][115].…”

“…In sum, preliminary studies suggest realism in VR to elicit more appropriate physiological and behavioral responses within the VR setting as well as aid transfer of knowledge to real-life situations, though evidence is limited [111]. The added value of realism is most likely highly dependent on the task at hand and the subject group studied.…”

The number of elderly is growing rapidly, including those that struggle with cognitive decline and, consequently, activities of daily living. Developing interventions that slow down cognitive decline would greatly benefit the autonomy of these elderly, as well as their caretakers. Virtual reality (VR) is an immersive and interactive human-computer interface with real-time simulation that is suggested to be a promising tool to improve cognitive functioning. This literature review discusses the features of immersive VR, including its opportunities and limitations, that are of special relevance for improving cognition in elderly. First, the high flexibility of VR allows for personalized and safe training of potentially harmful situations and isolated aspects of tasks. Second, VR’s dynamic and real-time feedback on performance provides a labor-extensive tool for caretakers in elderly care. Third, the acquisition of high resolution data enables the exposure of subtle changes over time, relevant for detecting the nature and extent of cognitive changes in elderly, including those with dementia. Fourth, immersive VR has been related to cybersickness. Finally, VR is immersive and enables the perception and expression of emotions, motor behaviors, and multiple senses. Aged subjects are found to have sparing of emotional learning and show increased reliance on multisensory integration for learning. Moreover, they experience high levels of flow, motivation, and presence in VR setups. Despite the clear potential of immersive VR, the studies available are small scale and have not been replicated. The digital illiteracy of elderly and healthcare personnel form an additional barrier for implementation. Hence, while replication of outcomes and standardization of VR interventions is required before it can be used in standard care, VR may provide a particularly effective tool for training cognition in elderly.

A Review of User Experience Requirements for a Procedural Training Task in Virtual Reality

The U.S. Air Force (USAF) Warfighter Interactions and Readiness Division is actively integrating virtual reality (VR) technology in Distributed Mission Operations Live, Virtual, and Constructive (DMO LVC) training. A head-mounted display (HMD) comparison methodology was pilot tested to evaluate the usability of multiple VR headsets for application in Warfighter training. This report discusses key factors and considerations that may impact usability and user experience, thereby impacting the training of the user. Implications on how these findings may correlate with training efficiencies are discussed.

“…On one hand, the use of more realistic controllers (e.g. those that replicate shape/weight) can improve learning time [8][9][10], presence [11] and involvement [12]. Including force feedback has been shown to improve hand-eye coordination [13], performance and potentially reduce learning time [14].…”

Commercial Virtual Reality (VR) controllers with realistic force feedback are becoming available, to increase the realism and immersion of first-person shooting (FPS) games in VR. These controllers attempt to mimic not only the shape and weight of real guns but also their recoil effects (linear force feedback parallel to the barrel, when the gun is shot). As these controllers become more popular and affordable, this paper investigates the actual effects that these properties (shape, weight, and especially directional force feedback) have on performance for general VR users (e.g. users with no marksmanship experience), drawing conclusions for both consumers and device manufacturers.We created a prototype replicating the properties exploited by commercial VR controllers (i.e. shape, weight and adjustable force feedback) and used it to assess the effect of these parameters in user performance, across a series of user studies. We first analysed the benefits on user performance of adding weight and shape vs a conventional controller (e.g. Vive controller). We then explore the implications of adding linear force feedback (LFF), as well as replicating the shape and weight. Our studies show negligible effects on the immediate shooting performance with some improvements in subjective appreciation, which are already present with low levels of LFF. While higher levels of LFF do not increase subjective appreciations any further, they lead users to reach their maximum distance skillset more quickly. This indicates that while adding low levels of LFF can be enough to influence user's immersion/engagement for gaming contexts, controllers with higher levels of LFF might be better suited for training environments and/or when dealing with particularly demanding aiming tasks.
