Over the past decade, research using virtual reality and serious game-based instruments for
assessing spatial navigation and spatial memory in at-risk and AD populations has risen …

In this case study, a man at the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) was enrolled in a cognitive
treatment program based upon spatial navigation in a virtual reality (VR) environment. We …

Memory, cognition, executive functioning, and spatial cognition loss are prevalent in the
normal aging process, but these impairments are observed more extensively in individuals …

This paper presents a novel virtual reality navigation (VRN) input device, called the
VRNChair, offering an intuitive and natural way to interact with virtual reality (VR) …

Age-related impairments during spatial navigation have been widely reported in egocentric
and allocentric paradigms. However, the effect of age on more specific navigational …

The proportion of individuals aged 65 and over is expected to nearly double by 2050,
reaching 1.6 billion people. Consequently, the prevalence of dementia, primarily driven by …

In this dissertation, a new method of interaction with virtual reality (VR) has been presented.
The VR environment, developed in this work provides a realistic and immersive environment …

One of the earliest symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a loss of spatial navigation. In
this work, we improved an existing screening test for AD that analyzed a patient's spatial …

Single, childless older adults with Alzheimer's disease (AD) are among the most vulnerable
and socially isolated demographic within this rising population. Individuals who do not have …

Background: Previous studies have reported that coordinate information (ie distance
between any two objects in a specific direction) is encoded differently from Virtual Reality …
