“…One challenge, which is particularly salient for older adults, is managing the interface between the user and the surrounding virtual environment, because the immersive context increases the complexity of the task. Using a head-mounted display (HMD), Nolin et al (2013) and Banville et al (2017Banville et al ( , 2018 implemented an immersive VR task that required participants to use the computer keyboard and mouse to sort everyday objects -a task that would be quite easy for older adults in real-life. Results showed that that older participants took more time to navigate within the virtual environment and to complete the sorting task.…”

Virtual Reality Cognitive Function Assessment feasible approach for function assessment even with older adults who might have very limited computer experience, no prior VR exposure, average educational experiences, and mild cognitive difficulties. Because of inherent limitations of single case reports (e.g., unknown generalizability, potential practice effects, etc.), group studies are needed to establish the full psychometric properties of the Virtual Reality Action Test.

“…Virtual reality offers physical and mental benefits for older adults, while also providing entertainment. Moreover, VR is ecologically valid and enables the simulation of daily living activities (Pedroli et al, 2018;Banville et al, 2017). The results of the performed pilot study, concerning the System Usability Scale (55.56, SD = 9.90) and the User Experience Questionnaire (all results above +0.80) scores, showed that our system can forecast as a fully-flagged cognitive-motor training alternative.…”

The human aging process is associated with systematic deterioration of cognitive and motor performance. Age-related deficits in motor skills and symptoms of cognitive decline, such as memory, attention and executive functioning problems, are major contributors to a loss of functional independence and reduced quality of life of the elderly. The virtual reality system presented can be used as an aid for effective training of those skills. The use of virtual reality training for therapeutic purposes is promising – not only does it provide encouraging medical and psychological effects but it may also be considered as an interesting leisure activity for seniors. The paper presents a pilot study which aims to qualitatively assess the usefulness of a VR technology-based solution for training cognitive and motor functions. The pre-test phase of the study was conducted on 9 subjects aged 62-81 (M = 71.66; SD = 7.00), who were asked to evaluate the performed tasks in terms of novelty and attractiveness. All subjects completed the pilot study. The SUS result was 55.56 (SD = 9.90), which is a marginal result. However, the UEQ result showed that all aspects of the game were reported as satisfactory. The pilot studies show that VR is well tolerated by the elderly. As demonstrated by the results, the system has moderate utility, but may be a promising solution for training cognitive-motor skills.
