Personalized Virtual Environments for Managing Responsive Behaviors in Cognitively Impaired Patients: a Feasibility Study

Individuals will participate in three VR sessions using Oculus headsets, experiencing virtual environments featuring realistic natural stimuli or custom settings tailored to their preferences and valued activities. Each environment allows for the adjustment of auditory elements (such as animal sounds, rustling wind, or specific music), visual elements (such as people, objects, or animals), and the time of day and weather conditions. The operator will use a user-friendly smartphone app to customize the environment, making real-time adjustments to settings and content. Throughout the VR experience, the operator can monitor the participant's visual focus in real-time.
