“…In addition to nausea, dizziness also represents a predominant symptom of VIMS (see e.g., Saredakis et al 2020 ). For this reason, the single-item FMS-D scale (Kaufeld et al, 2022 b ) was also used and queried 15 times during the simulation. Subjects were instructed to focus on dizziness and vertigo.…”

Visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) is a well-known side effect of virtual reality (VR) immersion, with symptoms including nausea, disorientation, and oculomotor discomfort. Previous studies have shown that pleasant music, odor, and taste can mitigate VIMS symptomatology, but the mechanism by which this occurs remains unclear. We predicted that positive emotions influence the VIMS-reducing effects. To investigate this, we conducted an experimental study with 68 subjects divided into two groups. The groups were exposed to either positive or neutral emotions before and during the VIMS-provoking stimulus. Otherwise, they performed exactly the same task of estimating the time-to-contact while confronted with a VIMS-provoking moving starfield stimulation. Emotions were induced by means of pre-tested videos and with International Affective Picture System (IAPS) images embedded in the starfield simulation. We monitored emotion induction before, during, and after the simulation, using the Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) valence and arousal scales. VIMS was assessed before and after exposure using the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ) and during simulation using the Fast Motion Sickness Scale (FMS) and FMS-D for dizziness symptoms. VIMS symptomatology did not differ between groups, but valence and arousal were correlated with perceived VIMS symptoms. For instance, reported positive valence prior to VR exposure was found to be related to milder VIMS symptoms and, conversely, experienced symptoms during simulation were negatively related to subjects’ valence. This study sheds light on the complex and potentially bidirectional relationship of VIMS and emotions and provides starting points for further research on the use of positive emotions to prevent VIMS.

“…The study mentions that one primary concern is the distraction factor, where players may become engrossed in the game and fail to pay adequate attention to their surroundings, leading to accidents or injuries. Additionally, prolonged usage of MR gaming apps can result in physical strain, eye discomfort, and even musculoskeletal issues, especially when players engage in prolonged or repetitive gameplay [43]. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding these safety and health implications, particularly for game developers and policymakers, to implement safety measures, provide user guidelines, and raise players' awareness of the responsible use of location-based MR gaming apps.…”

Current research in Mixed Reality (MR) presents a wide range of novel use cases for blending virtual elements with the real world. This yet-to-be-ubiquitous technology challenges how users currently work and interact with digital content. While offering many potential advantages, MR technologies introduce new security, safety, and privacy challenges. Thus, it is relevant to understand users' apprehensions towards MR technologies, ranging from security concerns to social acceptance. To address this challenge, we present the Mixed Reality Concerns (MRC) Questionnaire, designed to assess users' concerns towards MR artifacts and applications systematically. The development followed a structured process considering previous work, expert interviews, iterative refinements, and confirmatory tests to analytically validate the questionnaire. The MRC Questionnaire offers a new method of assessing users' critical opinions to compare and assess novel MR artifacts and applications regarding security, privacy, social implications, and trust.

“…Although several systematic reviews have reported that non-immersive exergaming to train gait and balance in pwPD is safe for use in both rehabilitation and home settings (28, 58, 59, 61), some adverse events in pwPD have been reported with both non-immersive (a non-injurious fall in a home-based step training study (69)) and immersive exergaming interventions (eyestrain and minor motion sickness during a dancing intervention using Google Glass ( 70)). We do not expect many adverse effects in the form of eyestrain and motion sickness, which is quite common in VR but not or less so with AR, in the proposed feasibility study as Reality DTx® runs on state-of-the-art AR glasses, where interactive augmented-reality content naturally blends with the real world and is largely static in case of the proposed study (71,72). Nevertheless, safety of use of immersive AR exergaming in the home setting of pwPD is yet to be determined.…”

BACKGROUND Clinical guidelines for people with Parkinson's disease (pwPD) stress that, complementary to pharmacological treatment, exercise and physical therapy should be given a central role to disease management. Adhering to regular exercise of the right type, and with high repetition, remains a challenge for pwPD. Exergaming has the potential to increase adherence through play and personalised interventions, both in clinic and at home. Reality DTx® is an augmented-reality (AR) home-based gamified gait-and-balance exergaming intervention specifically designed for pwPD as an extension of supervised physical therapy. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and potential efficacy of Reality DTx®. METHODS Twenty-four individuals with PD (Hoehn & Yahr stage 2–4) with self-reported gait-and/or-balance impairments will participate in this study. The study comprises a 6-week waitlist-controlled AR home-based therapeutic gait-and-balance exergaming intervention. Reality DTx® will initially be prescribed remotely for minimally five days a week for 30 minutes per day. We will remotely set and adjust the frequency, difficulty, type of games and/or duration on a weekly basis, based on objective and subjective data from the AR glasses and participant, respectively. In addition to the home-based gait-and-balance exergaming intervention, the study comprises three laboratory visits: before the 6-week waitlist period (t0; baseline), before the 6-week intervention period (t1; pre-intervention) and after the 6-week intervention period (t2; post-intervention). The primary study parameters are feasibility (in terms of safety, adherence and user experience) and potential efficacy for improving gait and balance (using standard clinical gait-and-balance tests and a targeted walking-related fall-risk assessment). Recruitment started in December 2022 and the final post-intervention assessment will according to planning be in July 2023. CONCLUSIONS This clinical feasibility trial is the first remotely prescribed and monitored home-based AR gait-and-balance exergaming intervention for pwPD. The results in terms of clinical feasibility (i.e., safety, adherence and user experience) and potential efficacy (gait, balance and fall-risk outcomes) form the basis for future randomised controlled studies on the effectiveness of home-based AR gait-and-balance exergaming interventions for pwPD.
