Introduction Virtual Reality (VR) is a tool that increasingly used in the aging population. Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) are stereoscopic vision devices for immersive VR. Cybersickness sometimes reported after head-mounted display (HMD) VR exposure. severity and anxiety state reflect low tolerance. We aimed to evaluate HMD tolerance among older nursing home residents through cybersickness state. Methods A total of 36 participants were included this preliminary study, 33 whom (mean age: 89.33 ± 5.48) underwent three individual sessions with different contents. occurrence scored by Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ) each session. Anxiety was assessed State–Trait Inventory form Y-A before trait (using Y-B) also evaluated experiment. In total, 92% (33/36) patients completed all sessions, which 61% (20/33) did not report any symptoms (SSQ = 0). Six significant (defined an SSQ score ⩾10) at least one Discussion Only two stopped study first exposure because cybersickness. Age, cognitive function, trait, well-being associated The mean decreased significantly from pre- post-session. This experience well tolerated dwellers. Further larger studies population aiming identify CS determinants needed order use on standard basis.

Seniors, in order to be able fight loneliness, need communicate with other people and engaged activities keep their minds active increase social capital. There is an intensified interest the development of virtual reality environments, either by commerce or academia, address problem isolation older people. Due vulnerability group involved this field research, for application evaluation methods regarding proposed VR environments becomes even more important. The range techniques that can exploited constantly expanding, visual sentiment analysis being a characteristic example. In study, we introduce use image-based behavioural as technique assess space elders present some promising preliminary results.
