“…Of the studies related to acute pain, 23.6% were situated in the field of needle insertions, with a primary focus on implementing immersive and interactive VR platforms within acute pain applications [ 19 ]. Immersion (i.e., subjective user assessment of being absorbed in a virtual world and the VR configuration [ 30 ]), interactivity (i.e., the degree to which a user is capable of influencing the virtual world [ 30 ]) and presence (i.e., subjective experience of being in an environment, even when a person is physically situated in another environment [ 31 ]) are considered the main pillars of VR applications [ 32 ]. The three-dimensional 360-degree virtual environment that was presented through a head-mounted display, combined with an active contribution of the children to the race, has led to an immersive, interactive VR experience in the current study that enabled children to reduce pain, as reported in the majority of studies in acute settings [ 33 , 34 , 35 ].…”

Virtual reality has proven to be an effective approach to decrease pain in acute settings, both in adults and children. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether virtual reality (VR) could reduce pain during an intrathecal pump refill procedure in children receiving intrathecal drug delivery, compared to a standard refill procedure. This is a three-arm crossover randomized controlled trial, evaluating the effect of VR on pain in children with cerebral palsy undergoing an intrathecal pump refill compared to a standard refill and a refill with distraction (watching a video). Pain was evaluated using the Wong–Baker Faces Scale. Secondary outcomes were procedural pain, fear, state anxiety, the incidence of adverse events and satisfaction. Six children participated in this study, whereby all children underwent the three conditions. Five children indicated an equal of lower pain score during VR, compared to a standard refill. This finding of an equal or lower pain intensity score for the VR condition compared to the control condition was also revealed by the ratings of the parents, physician and the researcher. The influence of VR on anxiety and fear seem to be in line with the influence of watching a video. In terms of satisfaction, all children and parents agreed with the statement that they would like to use VR again for a next refill. Due to the lack of adverse events, the high degree of satisfaction of children with VR and the decreased pain levels after a refill with VR, physicians may aim to explore the implementation of VR during intrathecal pump refill procedures in children in a daily clinical routine care setting.

“…Compared to static images, 360-degree VR tours allow users to alter the viewpoint angle from any direction with simple rotation and movement, increasing interactivity within the virtual space (Lurie and Mason, 2007). In contrast, immersive VR can modify the virtual environment by recognizing users' head movements and gestures, allowing for real-time response, interaction, and navigation within the virtual environment (Jarvis, 2019).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to evaluate the impact of various preview modes on tourist attitudes and intentions to visit a destination based on consumers’ level of involvement in travel decision-making.Design/methodology/approachThe study was conducted as a between-subjects one-factor [preview mode: static images vs 360-degree tour vs virtual reality (VR) mode] in a laboratory experiment setup to examine how consumers with different levels of involvement in travel decision-making respond to destination marketing toward three different preview modes.FindingsThe findings indicated that VR preview mode highly influences tourist attitudes and visit intentions toward a destination compared to static images and 360-degree tours. This effect is more significant among participants with higher levels of customer involvement. Finally, the results from the study offer empirical evidence of the effectiveness of VR in shaping user behavior compared to traditional preview modes.Research limitations/implicationsThe limitations are using a non-probability sampling method, a small sample size and affordable mobile-compatible VR headsets.Practical implicationsThis study offers empirical evidence on the effectiveness of VR in shaping tourist behavior compared to traditional preview modes. It helps destination marketers develop appropriate strategies for promoting tourist destinations.Originality/valueThe novelty of this paper lies in understanding the effectiveness of VR in shaping tourist behavior with different levels of customer involvement in travel decision-making.

“…Presence describes the subjective experience of being in one place or environment, even when one is physically situated in another [23]. There are two points of view for immersion definition; the first is based on the state of mind (feeling caught up in and absorbed by the virtual world) and the second is based on the technological capability of a VR system (1)Fully immersive, using a head-mounted display (HMD), (2)Semi-immersive, using large projection screens, (3)Minimal-immersive, using window-based display) [24]. Interactivity describes the degree to which users can influence the content of the virtual environment [24].…”

Due to the popularity of digital games, there is a growing interest in using games as therapeutic interventions. The ability of games to capture attention can be beneficial to distract patients from pain. In this paper, we investigate the impact of visual parameters (color, shapes, and animation) on users' awareness of their surroundings in virtual reality. We conducted a user study in which experiments included a visual search task using a virtual reality game. Through the game, the participants were asked to find a target among distraction objects. The results showed that the different visual representations of the target among distraction objects could affect the users' awareness of their surroundings. The least awareness of the surroundings occurred when the target and distractors shared similar features. Further, the conjunction of low similarity between distractorsdistractors and high similarity between target-distractors provided less awareness of the surroundings. Additionally, results revealed that there is a strong positive correlation between search time and awareness of the surroundings. Less awareness of the surroundings while playing a game implies that users are positively engaged in that game. These results offered a set of criteria that can be applied to future virtual reality interventions for medical pain distraction.
