Some researchers are beginning to simulate the reality of a particular everyday task or job training scenario with VR [virtual reality],” said Krawczyk, who is also deputy director of the UT Dallas Center for BrainHealth. “On the other end of the spectrum, researchers are interested in this very controlled type of memory task. So we’re able to learn about working memory as well as daily life.”“Some researchers are beginning to simulate the reality of a particular everyday task or job training scenario with VR [virtual reality]. On the other end of the spectrum, researchers are interested in this very controlled type of memory task. We can re-create whatever scenario is needed.”Several novel aspects of the study show how virtual reality can simplify researchers’ efforts while providing data in a better format.
