About

The objective of this clinical trial is to understand the determinants and opportunities for acceptance of immersive technologies to support physical, cognitive, and social health and the possibilities for "aging well" among the new generation of older adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• What are the needs and expectations in terms of immersive activities and intervention methods according to age?
• Do different game modes influence the needs and expectations in immersive activities of this population? 50 participants will be asked to complete a preliminary questionnaire about their activity habits and preferences. They will then be invited to participate in individual or multiplayer virtual reality game trials, a post-trial discussion about their experience and a questionnaire completion.
