“…During the last years, a number of reviews have addressed the use of VR systems to improve skills in individuals with ASD. [8][9][10][11] However, these reviews have investigated the general use of a variety of VR systems, which include a range of technologies such as computer screens, tablets, and phones to display the virtual environment. Compared to other VR technologies, Head-mounted displays (HMDs) allow for the most immersive and realistic VR experience and therefore minimize the gap between the virtual training environment and the real life environments where life skills are needed.…”

Challenges in life skills in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are associated with dependency on others and increased isolation from peers. In recent years, interventions using virtual reality (VR) technology have been proposed to improve life skills in ASD populations. This systematic review seeks to evaluate the efficacy of employing VR interventions mediated via head-mounted displays (HMD) for the improvement of life skills in individuals with ASD. Several databases were searched and a narrative synthesis was conducted to examine the findings of the included studies. Eight studies including a total of 58 participants were deemed relevant for this systematic review. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed via the use of critical appraisal tools. Results were generally positive, with one study reporting statistically significant results, and one study not reporting any change in abilities. The remaining six studies reported varying degrees of life skill improvement. The studies were characterized by methodological issues, such as very low sample sizes. The findings of this systematic review indicate some potential for HMD VR interventions in the improvement of life skills in individuals with ASD. However, this review also highlights the current lack of methodologically strong study designs, which prohibits any firm conclusions. Findings are discussed regarding methodological recommendations for further research as well as practical implications for life skills interventions for individuals with ASD.

“…VR has been used to facilitate children with autism in gaining emotional understanding and social conversation as indicated by the studies of Cheng et al [33] and Horace et al [34]. Some researchers have tried to assess effectiveness of VR for children with specific developmental issues though due mixed opinions, it requires further studies to evaluate its effectiveness [35].…”

The field of psychology is advancing with incorporation of immersive technologies and Virtual Environments (VE) in research, treatment, assessment and learning etc. Virtual Reality (VR) is one of the focused sub-domains of immersive technologies that is being used vastly in psychology. This also comes under the paradigm of cyberpsychology. The advancements reported in this area bring the need to understand the benefits provided by virtual reality with respect to human interaction and behavior etc. The published literature available discusses the development and evolution of cyber psychology specifically with respect to virtual reality. To the best of our knowledge the latest developments due to virtual reality in various sub fields of psychology have not been collectively documented so far. This paper provides highlights of the developments and transformations linked with the usage of virtual reality with recommendations about future studies and provides the reader a broader and informed view of this cross-disciplinary area. Moreover, the paper also provides limitations that exist, and considerations required while using VR for a specific treatment or experimentation.

“…Few attempts has been published to detect different objects in drone footage using CNNs based learning as in [27][28][29][30] and [31], etc. The binary classifiers for the detection of palm trees, as one of the objects in the designed multiclass detector, can be found in [32][33][34][35][36][37] and [37,38] and [39]. For more details we refer the readers to [5].…”
