“…VR proves to be an effective tool that can help handle this situation by spreading awareness, improving communication between people, and help in physical rehabilitation and pain management of an infected patient during the treatment process (Singh et al 2020). Several previous studies like training how to properly keep hand hygiene to prevent infections (Clack et al 2019), utilization of VR in online shopping with additional product visualization (Speicher 2018) or opportunities and challenges in online teaching and education with VR support (Callaghan et al 2015) become very actual in 2020.…”

Cyber sickness in low-immersive, semi-immersive, and fully immersive virtual reality

It is known that virtual reality (VR) experience may cause cyber sickness. One aspect of VR is an immersion or otherwise sense of presence, the sense of feeling oneself in a virtual world. In this paper an experiment which was conducted in order to find the link between level of immersion and cyber sickness felt by participants is presented. Eighty-nine participants aged between 19 and 36 years have been equally divided into four groups with different level of VR immersion. The low-immersive group was represented by PC with monoscopic screen, the semi-immersive group was represented by CAVE with stereoscopic projector, the fully immersive group was represented by VR head-mounted display, and the last group was the control group without any kind of immersion. The task for the participants was to navigate through the maze for a specified amount of time (10 min). The Simulator Sickness Questionnaire was used as a subjective measure tool for cyber sickness level and Grooved Pegboard Test for assessing the fine dexterity, both before and after the experiment. Regarding the time spend in VR the fully immersive environment had the biggest problems as more than half of the participants had to stop before 10 min (p < 0.001). Concerning the cyber sickness, the significant increase in nausea score between pre-test and post-test scores has been observed in semi-immersive group (p = 0.0018) and fully immersive group (p < 0.0001). The increase in oculomotor score was smaller. The significant difference was noted only in fully immersive group (p = 0.0449). In spite of great nausea factor after the VR immersion the participants did not show a decrease of fine dexterity in any group (p < 0.001).

“…There are few VR and MR simulations for training hand hygiene, and high quality evidence of their effectiveness is limited [ 39 , 40 , 42 ]. Shimada and colleagues [ 41 ] targeted preschool children, using a data glove instead of hand-held controllers to obtain the posture of user’s hand as a VR device.…”

Background Although the proper use of hygiene and personal protective equipment (PPE) is paramount for preventing the spread of diseases such as COVID-19, health care personnel have been shown to use incorrect techniques for donning/doffing of PPE and hand hygiene, leading to a large number of infections among health professionals. Education and training are difficult owing to the social distancing restrictions in place, shortages of PPE and testing material, and lack of evidence on optimal training. Virtual reality (VR) simulation can offer a multisensory, 3-D, fully immersive, and safe training opportunity that addresses these obstacles. Objective The aim of this study is to explore the short- and long-term effectiveness of a fully immersive VR simulation versus a traditional learning method regarding a COVID-19–related skill set and media-specific variables influencing training outcomes. Methods This was a prospective, randomized controlled pilot study on medical students (N=29; intervention VR training, n=15, vs control video-based instruction, n=14) to compare the performance of hand disinfection, nasopharyngeal swab taking, and donning/doffing of PPE before and after training and 1 month later as well as variables of media use. Results Both groups performed significantly better after training, with the effect sustained over one month. After training, the VR group performed significantly better in taking a nasopharyngeal swab, scoring a median of 14 out of 17 points (IQR 13-15) versus 12 out of 17 points (IQR 11-14) in the control group, P=.03. With good immersion and tolerability of the VR simulation, satisfaction was significantly higher in the VR group compared to the control group (median score of User Satisfaction Evaluation Questionnaire 27/30, IQR 23-28, vs 22/30, IQR 20-24, in the control group; P=.01). Conclusions VR simulation was at least as effective as traditional learning methods in training medical students while providing benefits regarding user satisfaction. These results add to the growing body of evidence that VR is a useful tool for acquiring simple and complex clinical skills.

“…The efectiveness of an intervention is the ability of the intervention to meet the intended design goals or objectives. Of the 19 papers reviewed, 26% of the papers [5,7,8,18,26] directly compared the efectiveness of the developed intervention system with other interventions currently in use. All papers introduced a new intervention system except a study by Kim and Lee [23], which analyzed the efectiveness of an existing intervention at reducing alcoholic craving and drinking tendencies among undergraduate students who were classifed as heavy drinkers.…”

“…One of the papers (5%) [27] considered the intervention to be partially successful because the expected behavioral change outcome was only achieved in some participants (female participants), not in others. Two papers (11%) [7,8] have not determined the efectiveness of the intervention because the studies were reported as ongoing. Figure 3 shows the efectiveness of interventions based on self-reported results.…”

“…Innovative technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are useful tools for developing efective interventions in diferent domains, including the health domain [2,8,28,38]. VR can be defned as a computer-generated digital environment that can be experienced and interacted with as if the digital environment were real [20], AR, on the other hand, can be defned as a technology that displays the combination of both real and virtual images which are graphically interactive to respond to users input in real time in the real world [3].…”

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have shown potential benefts in managing healthy behavior. This paper presents a systematic review of AR-or VR-driven interventions for promoting healthy behaviors. The review investigates the design, implementations of the intervention, persuasive strategies, intervention platforms, underlying technologies, current trends, and research gaps. Our review of the past 10-years' work in the area reveals that 1) the considered papers focused on seven main healthy behaviors, where "alcohol use" emerged as the most commonly considered behavior; 2) trustworthiness emerged as the most commonly used persuasive strategy; 3) youth are the most targeted audience; 4) VR is more common than AR; and 5) most AR-or VR-driven interventions are perceived to be efective in motivating healthy behavior in people. We also uncover how they use Artifcial Intelligence and Object Tracking in this space. Finally, we identify gaps and ofer recommendations for advancing research in this area.
