Adaptive virtual reality gaming for cognitive training
Project Type
Release Date
A multi-room virtual museum for cognitive load assessment.
Challenge:
Does VR, gamification, and affective adaptation provide engaging cognitive training paradigm for a target population of older adults with little, or no, game playing experience?
Does facial EMG signals serve as a reliable, and unobtrusive, source of affective data for emotion classification in a VR environment for cognitive training?
Combining the benefits of gamification VR and affective adaptation in the development of an engaging cognitive training task
EMG was used to assess cognitive load and cognitive capacity of the player and automatically adapting to maintain engaging content that does not become unduly stressful.
Output: a VR game for cognitive skills training and a publication in a high impact journal validating approach taken
Benefits:
A virtual reality game for gamifying cognitive training in older adults.
