“…Conversely, individuals with VR experience consider the costs and the training effort affordable and are not deterred by them. As VR is no longer a new technology, the acquisition costs have fallen [62]. This could lead to the assumption that HC professionals without experience cannot estimate the costs, rely on incorrect or outdated knowledge, and abandon the effort associated with introducing new technologies.…”

BACKGROUND The metaverse concept, gaining popularity since 2021, integrates technologies like virtual reality (VR) presenting novel opportunities for healthcare (HC). The use of VR technologies in HC, particularly in medical rehabilitation, has demonstrated effectiveness by enabling patient remobilization in virtual environments, offering real-time performance feedback, enhancing physical function and quality of life, and allowing patients to perform exercises autonomously. Nevertheless, integration of VR into routine rehabilitative practice is facing slow adoption due to concerns from HC professionals regarding data security and ethical considerations. OBJECTIVE This study seeks to explore how previous experience with VR technologies influences HC professionals' decisions to adopt or reject these technologies in medical rehabilitation. METHODS Using Rogers' diffusion of innovation theory, we conducted 23 semi-structured interviews with HC professionals from different rehabilitative fields in Germany. We grouped the interview participants regarding their innovativeness into VR experienced "innovators" and non-experienced "laggards". We apply qualitative content analysis techniques and categorize 26 adoption and rejection factors. RESULTS The identified 26 factors influence VR technology adoption and rejection. VR-experienced "innovators" showed different adoption patterns compared to non-experienced "laggards”, while factors of adoption hardly differed. CONCLUSIONS Addressing unique needs of both groups is crucial for wider VR acceptance in HC. The study enhances understanding of technology adoption, offering insights for developing strategies to improve VR integration in medical rehabilitation.

“…In recent years, the development of immersive technologies has been remarkable [32,33]. Their adoption, across a wide spectrum of socio-economic life, is expected to increase steadily, especially as we enter the age of virtual worlds and metaverses [34][35][36][37][38][39]. Extended reality (XR) is characterized by augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR).…”

The urgent need for research and study with nondestructive and noninvasive methods and the preservation of cultural heritage led to the development and application of methodologies for the multi-level digitization of cultural elements. Photogrammetry and three-dimensional scanning offer photorealistic and accurate digital representations, while X-rays and computed tomography reveal properties and characteristics of the internal and invisible structure of objects. However, the investigation of and access to these datasets are, in several cases, limited due to the increased computing resources and the special knowledge required for their processing and analysis. The evolution of immersive technologies and the creative industry of video games offers unique user experiences. Game engines are the ideal platform to host the development of easy-to-use applications that combine heterogeneous data while simultaneously integrating immersive and emerging technologies. This article seeks to shed light on how heterogeneous digital representations of 3D imaging and tomography can be harmoniously combined in a virtual space and, through simple interactions, provide holistic knowledge and enhanced experience to end users. This research builds on previous experience concerning the virtual museum for the Antikythera Mechanism and describes a conceptual framework for the design and development of an affordable and easy-to-use display tool for combined representations of heterogeneous datasets in the virtual space. Our solution was validated by 62 users who participated in tests and evaluations. The results show that the proposed methodology met its objectives. Apart from cultural heritage, the specific methodology could be easily extended and adapted for training purposes in a wide field of application, such as in education, health, engineering, industry, and more.
