Abstract

The aim of this review was to survey scientific studies concerning the use of Virtual Reality (VR) for entertainment purposes with institutionalized elderly people, and to identify factors that may affect users' virtual experience. A systematic review using PRISMA recommendations in Pubmed and PsycInfo databases identified 149 scientific publications concerning the use of Virtual Reality with an elderly public. Included studies used Head Mounted Display with institutionalized participants aged over 60 for entertainment purposes, to improve quality of life or to enhance mental well-being. Out of the 149 identified publications, 10 studies were included in the analysis. Factors influencing users' entertainment experience included: choice of content, particularly when it prompted reminiscence; hedonic nature of activities; device ergonomics (choice of hardware). Identified limits to use (adverse effects) and possible improvements are proposed. An activity using Virtual Reality must be prepared according to the pursued objective. It must be administered carefully, as adverse effects are possible.

[头戴式显示器虚拟现实娱乐老年人：叙述回顾]。

本综述的目的是调查有关将虚拟现实（VR）用于机构老年人娱乐目的的科学研究，并确定可能影响用户虚拟体验的因素。在Pubmed和PsycInfo数据库中使用PRISMA建议进行的系统审查确定了149份有关在老年公众中使用虚拟现实的科学出版物。纳入的研究使用头戴式显示器，60岁以上的制度化参与者用于娱乐目的，以提高生活质量或增强心理健康。在确定的149份出版物中，有10项研究纳入了分析。影响用户娱乐体验的因素包括：内容的选择，特别是当它引起回忆时；活动的享乐性；设备人机工程学（硬件选择）。已确定的使用限制（不利影响）和可能的改进建议。使用虚拟现实的活动必须根据所追求的目标进行准备。必须谨慎使用，因为可能会产生副作用。
