Abstract

This VR project delves into the intricate relationship between cognitive games and balance through immersive virtual reality experiences. Leveraging cutting-edge VR technology, the project aims to investigate how cognitive game activities, specifically designed for mental engagement and stimulation, can influence the physical balance in users under certain circumstances. The research focuses on creating and testing 2 cognitive games that challenge mental processes such as memory and problem-solving, while simultaneously incorporating a moving environment that tests the users balance while focusing on the cognitive task. By integrating these elements within a virtual environment, the project seeks to provide a holistic approach to cognitive and balance testing. Participants will engage in 2 VR-based cognitive games that will be tested on a balance plate that provides live feedback to show results of there testing. The project follows an Agile development approach, utilizing Unity for game development and GitLab for version control. Success will be measured by the accuracy of balance data collection, participant engagement, and the effectiveness of cognitive task implementation. These games have potential applications in therapeutic and cognitive health practices, providing an interactive tool for both research and rehabilitation purposes.
