Abstract:

The1 key aim of various assistive technology (AT) systems is to augment an individual’s functioning whilst supporting an enhanced quality of life (QoL). In recent times, we have seen the emergence of Virtual Reality (VR) based assistive technology systems made possible by the availability of commercially available Head Mounted Displays (HMDs). The use of VR for AT aims to support levels of interaction and immersion not previously possibly with more traditional AT solutions. Crucial to the success of these technologies is understanding, from the user perspective, the influencing factors that affect the user Quality of Experience (QoE). In addition to the typical QoE metrics, other factors to consider are human behavior like mental and emotional state, posture and gestures. In terms of trying to objectively quantify such factors, there are wide ranges of wearable sensors that are able to monitor physiological signals and …
