Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is IVR intervention, which allows healthy elderly people to share their experiences of watching famous places (such as "cherry blossoms" along the river) and events (such as traditional festivals in the area) (multiplayer mode). To assess the impact on several areas of quality of life (social, cognitive, emotional, and motor areas) using a specific test battery.
The idea of this study is emotional (by known places and events), cognitive (by exploring virtual space), and social (because of multiplayer mode) that contribute to improving quality of life through IVR intervention. , To activate the behavioral aspect (due to the involvement of IVR).

Interventions/Control_1

The IVR intervention consists of 12 sessions (from session 2 to session 13 of this RCT) performed twice a week for 6 weeks continuously, for 15 minutes each session. The subject randomly assigned to the Intervention group, all together in a group session, will all wear the headset-mounted display (one for each of them). The first 3 minutes will be important for acclimatization and familiarization with the setup and the IVR environment. Once sure that none of the subjects feels uncomfortable, the intervention starts: they will all see the same 3D videos; each session the images are different, but they all show famous spots and places that evoke positive memories and feelings. Because it is a shared situation, it will possible for them to talk and discuss their ongoing experiences. Although, they will not be able to walk, but they have to stay sit for safety reasons ; they are allowed to explore the environment by rotating their heads. Also, the 3D images and videos will play in a natural way, giving the impression that they are actually immersed there.

Interventions/Control_2

The Intervention group only will perform the IVR intervention, while the Control group does not do it.
