“…The literature extensively explores various VR applications for the elderly, emphasizing their potential benefits. Studies, such as [36,58,59], highlight the positive impact of VR interventions on the well-being of older adults. The feasibility, safety, and enjoyment reported in community or residential care settings suggest the potential for broader applications.…”

“…A variety of VR experiences designed for the elderly have been explored in the literature. For instance, in [36], the authors assessed the effectiveness of 360 • immersive VR interventions on the well-being of older adults with and without cognitive impairment. The review of 10 articles found that VR 360 • video interventions were feasible, safe, and enjoyable for older adults in community or residential care settings.…”

Demographic change confronts us with an ever-increasing number of elderly people who face isolation and socialization issues. Background: The main challenge of this study is to inject emotional and aesthetic aspects into the design process of a virtual reality (VR) social space for the elderly. In this context, we asked architects and artists to improve the perception elderly people have of their way of communicating with others. Artists, in collaboration with computer engineers, designed experiences that evoke positive cognitive and emotional feelings and memories by following design trends and aesthetic values likely to be appreciated by older people, which were integrated in VR. Methods: We approached our goal by implementing an innovative art-driven methodology, using a plethora of technologies and methods, such as VR, artificial intelligence algorithms, visual analysis, and 3D mapping, in order to make design decisions based on a detailed understanding of the users’ preferences and collective behavior. Results: A so-called virtual village “Cap de Ballon” was co-created, having a public space inspired by the villages of Santorini and Meteora and a private space inspired by the 3D scanning of an elderly person’s apartment. Conclusions: The overall concept of the VR village‘s utility, design, and interior design were appreciated by the end users and the concept was evaluated as original and stimulating for creativity.

“…Given that loneliness is a very important issue amongst older populations and many adults fear becoming lonely (Cohen-Mans eld et al, 2016), perceiving a technology as potentially fostering loneliness will face di culty in its adoption by end users. Indeed, other studies investigating VR in connection to loneliness have found the same issue between fostering and remedying loneliness (Finnegan & Campbell, 2023;Healy et al, 2022;Restout et al, 2023). Finnegan & Campbell (2023) suggest designing and using VR in a more nuanced way based on emotion rather than a label, thus not framing it as a technology for lonely persons, but persons who feel lonely.…”

The metaverse, a virtual, three-dimensional and interactive world that is accessible through virtual reality (VR) technology, is gaining interest in healthcare and medical research. VR, as its precursor, already offers opportunity for healthcare itself, due to its capabilities to overcome distances, create safe, customized environments and allow immersive, powerful experiences. Older adults, who often suffer from reduced mobility, could thus greatly benefit from VR. This qualitative study explores the perceptions of older adults and their caregivers, formal and informal, on VR and its potential use in aged care. The study reveals that all stakeholder groups foresee potential of VR as an entertaining and therapeutic technology, but that they also worry about VRs’ impact on loneliness, the cognitive capabilities needed to use it, as well as its safety for older adults. Our study identifies clear opportunities for VR technology in aged care and points to important prejudices that need to be dismantled before VR will be widely adopted as a technology in aged care.

“…In ref. [25] the authors aim to assess the effectiveness of 360 Regarding the evaluation of VR environments, Rose et al [26] tried an HMD-VR with people with dementia, which allowed patients and caregivers to navigate in preselected virtual environments. The evaluation of the VR was conducted via interviews and reports, revealing that the users were excited with the application, and the experience as a whole was beneficial since patients with dementia experienced more pleasure during and after HMD-VR compared to before exposure.…”

Seniors, in order to be able to fight loneliness, need to communicate with other people and be engaged in activities to keep their minds active to increase their social capital. There is an intensified interest in the development of social virtual reality environments, either by commerce or by academia, to address the problem of social isolation of older people. Due to the vulnerability of the social group involved in this field of research, the need for the application of evaluation methods regarding the proposed VR environments becomes even more important. The range of techniques that can be exploited in this field is constantly expanding, with visual sentiment analysis being a characteristic example. In this study, we introduce the use of image-based sentiment analysis and behavioural analysis as a technique to assess a social VR space for elders and present some promising preliminary results.
