Aging is a condition that may be characterized by a decline in physical, sensory, and mental capacities, while increased morbidity and multimorbidity may be associated with disability. A wide range of clinical conditions (e.g., frailty, mild cognitive impairment, metabolic syndrome) and age-related diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, cancer, sarcopenia, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases) affect older people. Virtual reality (VR) is a novel and promising tool for assessment and rehabilitation in older people. Usability is a crucial factor that must be considered when designing virtual systems for medicine. We conducted a systematic review with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines concerning the usability of VR clinical systems in aging and provided suggestions to structure usability piloting. Findings show that different populations of older people have been recruited to mainly assess usability of non-immersive VR, with particular attention paid to motor/physical rehabilitation. Mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative tools together) is the preferred methodology; technology acceptance models are the most applied theoretical frameworks, however senior adapted models are the best within this context. Despite minor interaction issues and bugs, virtual systems are rated as usable and feasible. We encourage usability and user experience pilot studies to ameliorate interaction and improve acceptance and use of VR clinical applications in older people with the aid of suggestions (VR-USOP) provided by our analysis.

VR‐Rides: An object‐oriented application framework for immersive virtual reality exergames

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Exercise can improve health and well-being. With this in mind, immersive virtual reality (VR) games are being developed to promote physical activity, and are generally evaluated through user studies. However, building such applications is time consuming and expensive. This paper introduces VR-Rides, an object-oriented application framework focused on the development of experiment-oriented VR exergames. Following the modular programming pattern, this framework facilitates the integration of different hardware (such as VR devices, sensors, and physical activity devices) within immersive VR experiences that overlay game narratives on Google Street View panoramas. Combining software engineering and interaction patterns, modules of VR-Rides can be easily added and managed in the Unity game engine. We evaluate the code efficiency and development effort across our VR exergames developed using VR-Rides. The reliability, maintainability, and usability of our framework are also demonstrated via code metrics analysis and user studies. The results show that investing in a systematic approach to reusing code and design can be a worthwhile effort for researchers beyond software engineering.

There are an increasing number of freely available software tools, plug-ins, programming libraries, and packages that employ recent advances in VR for use by the HCI research community. One such example is VR exercise video games (exergames), with different VR exergames used in physical education classes, 1,2 physical health in older adults, 3,4 and physical rehabilitation and therapy. 5,6 These applications are expected to be employed, integrated and improved by researchers and developers in their HCI projects, thus reducing the time, effort, and cost for creating customized applications. But the commercial VR systems, generally games, used are not systematically engineered to be adapted by researchers or to run research studies. For example, VR systems and games focus primarily on enhancing the immersion and enjoyment of user wearing the head-mounted display (HMD), which ignores the collaboration of non-HMD user. In order to study the interaction in collaborative VR, Gugenheimer et al 7 built a system with VR platform, projectors, gamepad, and Softw: Pract Exper. 2020;50:1305-1324.wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/spe
