The aims of our study were to (1) determine the feasibility in using immersive VR in individuals with acquired brain injury, and detect limits in its applicability, and (2) estimate the extent to which the immersion, sense of presence, usability and general motivational aspects, and side effects affect users’ experience. To that end, a novel VR task, the immersive Virtual Memory Task (imVMT), was developed and applied to measure the spatial memory. Preliminary data will be discussed with a focus on feasibility.","PeriodicalId":179905,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Virtual Rehabilitation (ICVR)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116784560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individual, organizational and technological factors influencing implementation and sustained use of an exergaming program were identified. The results stressed the need to target the key implementation factors.","PeriodicalId":179905,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Virtual Rehabilitation (ICVR)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134380732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
