The issue of caring for the elderly has resulted in the need for health care, assisted living, and independence of the elderly. Previous research has confirmed that introducing health technology at an early stage can encourage the elderly to continue their activities, promote their independence and reduce the cost of social care. In this study, which applies the advantages of virtual reality (VR) technology, Unity 3D software is used to design VR dumbbell motion software for the elderly. This software can provide positive excitation and enable the elderly to maintain continuous motion. The objectives of this research are as follows: (1) to construct VR prototypes; (2) to test their usability (i.e., operating efficiency, visibility, and error rate); and (3) to study the emotional response of interfaces. This study adopted the Self-Assessment Manikin to measure emotion and the questionnaires for user interaction satisfaction to measure usability. Interface experts were also invited to conduct experiments, fill in questionnaires and provide interviews. The comparison of the VR application programs with physical dumbbells yields the following conclusions. The VR application programs are more pleasant. The real water dumbbell interface feels slightly stronger. The interface learning performance of the VR application programs is better. The preliminary conclusions drawn from this study can be used as a reference for designers. Scholars are expected to conduct further explorations.","author":[{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Person","name":"Yu-Min

Virtual reality (VR) games, in particular, have been shown to benefit the physical and mental health of the elderly. However, almost all consumer-level VR games address the general user, not considering the characteristics of the elderly, such as their particular needs regarding cognitive aspects and safety. In addition, the existing VR rowing games’ research typically focuses on athlete training or is based on a rowing machine. Extending on previous research, this paper proposes a conceptual design of a VR rowing game, VRrowing to provide a home exercise game for the elderly which benefits both physical and mental health. This research first analysed the relevant literature and existing VR exercise games for the elderly to find characteristics and their particular needs.

However, with the ongoing pandemic, face-to-face training options became unavailable or limited, yielding a need for alternatives. In this paper, we conducted a user study with older adults (N = 25) to compare a traditional, recorded 2D gymnastics video with an immersive virtual reality (VR) exergame. We evaluated the movement and heart rate of the participants, as well as their enjoyment, attention to the task, and perceived workload. In the VR condition, we additionally assessed their feeling of cybersickness. Finally, qualitative feedback about their preferences was collected. The results indicate that our immersive VR exergame can be a suitable alternative, but not a replacement for traditional 2D video-based exercise activities. Furthermore, the cognitive aspect of exergames can lead to the feeling of physical workload, even if easy movements are performed. Finally, we discuss the implications of our results for future VR exergames and point out advantages and disadvantages of the systems.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Enabling Immersive Exercise Activities for Older Adults: A Comparison of Virtual Reality Exergames and Traditional Video Exercises","attachmentId":105848395,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/106937501/Enabling_Immersive_Exercise_Activities_for_Older_Adults_A_Comparison_of_Virtual_Reality_Exergames_and_Traditional_Video_Exercises","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/106937501/Enabling_Immersive_Exercise_Activities_for_Older_Adults_A_Comparison_of_Virtual_Reality_Exergames_and_Traditional_Video_Exercises"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="2" data-entity-id="30238911" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/30238911/Revisiting_the_User_Experience_of_a_Virtual_Rehabilitation_Tool_for_the_Physical_Activation_and_Cognitive_Stimulation_of_Elders">Revisiting the User Experience of a Virtual Rehabilitation Tool for the Physical Activation and Cognitive Stimulation of Elders</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="2202158" href="https://uabc.academia.edu/AlbertoLMoran">Alberto L.

The system consists of a cycle-ergometer integrated in an immersive virtual reality system (CAVE) which allows combining motor and cognitive exercises according to a &quot;dual-task&quot; paradigm. We tested the usability and user&#39;s experience of the prototype in a pilot evaluation study that involved five elderly patients. The prototype was tested in one-session training to understand the limitations and areas for improvement of our system.

Positive effects on older adults’ motor ability are brought about by engaging their motor skills and promoting sensorimotor learning and cortical plasticity. These processes could be increased with the use of immersive virtual reality (IVR) technology, since the multisensory stimulation is greater. The aim of this study was to explore the usability and balance effects of an IVR exercise program in community-dwelling nonagenarian people. A sample of 12 women were allocated to an experimental group (EG n = 6; 91.67 ± 1.63 years) and a control group (CG n = 6; 90.83 ± 2.64 years). For 10 weeks, the EG used a commercial IVR exergame three times a week. All the sample completed the program without adverse effects (without Simulator Sickness Questionnaire symptoms). Post-gaming usability was good (System Usability Scale 78.33). The EG improved some balance parameters significantly (Tinetti te...</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Immersive Virtual Reality as a Novel Physical Therapy Approach for Nonagenarians: Usability and Effects on Balance Outcomes of a Game-Based Exercise Program","attachmentId":92923254,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/89053339/Immersive_Virtual_Reality_as_a_Novel_Physical_Therapy_Approach_for_Nonagenarians_Usability_and_Effects_on_Balance_Outcomes_of_a_Game_Based_Exercise_Program","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/89053339/Immersive_Virtual_Reality_as_a_Novel_Physical_Therapy_Approach_for_Nonagenarians_Usability_and_Effects_on_Balance_Outcomes_of_a_Game_Based_Exercise_Program"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="7" data-entity-id="90619436" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/90619436/User_Centered_Design_of_an_Augmented_Reality_Gaming_Platform_for_Active_Aging_in_Elderly_Institutions">User Centered Design of an Augmented Reality Gaming Platform for Active Aging in Elderly Institutions</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="37384828" href="https://independent.academia.edu/HugoSim%C3%A3o">Hugo Simão</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Proceedings of the 5th International Congress on Sport Sciences Research and Technology Support, 2017</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"User Centered Design of an Augmented Reality Gaming Platform for Active Aging in Elderly Institutions","attachmentId":94133027,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/90619436/User_Centered_Design_of_an_Augmented_Reality_Gaming_Platform_for_Active_Aging_in_Elderly_Institutions","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/90619436/User_Centered_Design_of_an_Augmented_Reality_Gaming_Platform_for_Active_Aging_in_Elderly_Institutions"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="8" data-entity-id="84365708" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/84365708/Design_Considerations_for_Immersive_Virtual_Reality_Applications_for_Older_Adults_A_Scoping_Review">Design Considerations for Immersive Virtual Reality Applications for Older Adults: A Scoping Review</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="599016" href="https://uts.academia.edu/ABakiKocaballi">A.

The iVR literature, however, provides a limited understanding of guiding design considerations and evaluations pertaining to user experience (UX). To address this gap, we present a state-of-the-art scoping review of literature on iVR applications developed for older adults over 65 years. We performed a search in ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, Scopus, and PubMed (1 January 2010–15 December 2019) and found 36 out of 3874 papers met the inclusion criteria. We identified 10 distinct sets of design considerations that guided target users and physical configuration, hardware use, and software design. Most studies carried episodic UX where only 2 captured anticipated UX and 7 measured longitudinal experiences.

This research created two virtual reality environments using Oculus Rift head-mounted display and Oculus touch controllers, with the goal of increasing the accessibility to exercise for people living with dementia. A three-week evaluation was conducted with six persons living with dementia to compare the virtual programs with human/therapist-guided exercise. The results showed that both virtual exercise programs were comparable to the therapist-guided exercise in terms of subjective enjoyment, comfort, and difficulty level of the activities. All the participants completed all the tasks designed for them in each day and five wanted to continue using virtual reality exercises.
