“…As such, skills developed in VR may not generalize to their physical communicative environments with their own communication partners. Immersive VR and its associated "feeling of presence" (p. 590) [18] may provide users with the immersive experience necessary to increase the generalization of skills gained or practiced in VR to physical, everyday interactions [18,19]. In a practical sense, this research uses the term 'immersive VR' to describe modern head mounted devices (such as the HTC Vive® or Oculus Rift®) which include six degrees of freedom head and hand tracking within a small room-sized (3m x 3m) area.…”

Virtual reality (VR) technologies are emerging as novel platforms for physical and cognitive interventions, though applications in communication rehabilitation are scarce. Consultation with end-users on implementation of VR in clinical contexts is a vital first step to investigating the feasibility VR in communication rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to explore the views of professionals with expertise in health, rehabilitation, and VR technology, on the populations that might benefit from VR-based rehabilitation, and potential barriers and facilitators to their use of VR. Thematic content analysis of one interdisciplinary focus group and one in-depth interview identified two content themes relating to the use of VR in rehabilitation, and four themes related to the use of VR to maximize its clinical benefit and uptake. Consideration of these results in the development of VR programs in rehabilitation might lead to better acceptance and implementation of VR for improved health and participation outcomes.

“…Immersion. Immersion is a central characteristic of VR technologies such as VR-HMDs [23,24,30,33]. Yet, immersion as part of the theoretical approaches of flow theory and cognitive absorption was mainly investigated within educational settings, focusing on the actual learning [e.g.…”

“…A virtual space enables users a precise interaction and a high degree of visualization of objects and processes which otherwise are not possible or infeasible to depict in the real world [51]. Moreover, higher precision and visualization allow for a more intense, focused experience and to conduct certain tasks [23,24,33].…”

“…However, only sparse research focusses on empirical investigations especially on cause-effect relationships of how the sense of immersion can be enhanced within VR environments. First approaches argue for the essential construct of presence [24,50,51,52], state the importance of embodiment, presence, and social presence in virtual multi-user domains within a literature review [43], or qualitatively derive antecedents of immersion such as control, enjoyment, curiosity, or embodiment [23]. Nevertheless, these studies do only scarcely focus on the central aspects of how interactions with one's own hands take place (by use of provided controllers of HMDs such as Oculus Rift and HTC Vive) and how the use of one's entire body and the own perception of interactions influence the sense of immersion within a VR environment.…”

Agency and Body Ownership in Immersive Virtual Reality Environments: A Laboratory Study

Virtual reality (VR) technologies such as head-mounted displays are gaining increasing attention since the Oculus Rift development kit entered the market in 2016. VR is assumed to offer great potential for different purposes such as entertainment, gaming, education, or healthcare. VR provides an enclosed virtual environment in which users can become immersed, can move and look freely at 360degree in any direction, and they can interact, manipulate, or create virtual objects with their entire body. With regard to these properties and the characteristic of immersion, we examine how immersion can be enhanced by the theoretical constructs of agency and body ownership in a VR space. Therefore, we investigate the perception of agency and the sense of body ownership with 69 participants in a laboratory study with a self-developed VR environment. We found a positive significant effect of agency but no effect of body ownership on immersion.

Paramedics are often the first to provide medical aid at mass-casualty indidents. These are complex stressful situations where the first paramedics' role is to provide rapid response and perform a triage to classify the urgency of victims needing to to hospital. As these situations do not occur frequently, Virtual Reality provides a cost-effective manner to frequently train for these incidents. We present a user-centered design approach used to design the training, which we evaluated with 32 paramedics and trainers. We integrated the design with developing a business model that we evaluated with ten training coordinators of ambulance services. The evaluation revealed that paramedics were highly motivated during the training and that they rated the training high on userexperience. Trainers indicated that the resulting training can be used in practice; not as a replacement but as an addition to current practices. To conclude, the study reveals that co-developing a VR training with paramedics and their trainers, can yield an effective platform to practice triage in complex situations. While further improvements are necessary, our study not only provides a set training, but also a roadmap for how to design VR training environments for paramedics and possibly other (medical) services.
