Area of Science:

  • * Virtual Reality (VR) and Immersive Technologies
  • * Health Sciences and Medical Research
  • * Research Methodology and Data Integrity

Background:

  • * Virtual reality (VR) offers unique, user-centered experiences with significant healthcare and research potential.
  • * Inconsistent terminology and lack of standardized criteria hinder the accurate definition and classification of VR technology.
  • * Misclassification of VR hardware in studies compromises research validity and comparability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To address the limitations in defining and classifying VR technology.
  • * To establish a standardized framework for qualifying VR hardware.
  • * To quantify the extent of VR misclassification in existing research.

Main Methods:

  • * Comprehensive theoretical and literature review to inform the development of a VR qualification framework.
  • * Proposal of a hardware-based VR qualification matrix with criteria including 3D synchronized sensory stimulation, degrees of freedom tracking, and visual suppression of physical stimuli.
  • * Validation of the proposed model through a sectional review of 115 health-related studies from 2019.

Main Results:

  • * The proposed VR qualification matrix demonstrates good validity and reliability for classifying VR hardware.
  • * Analysis of 115 health-related studies revealed that 31.3% misclassified VR hardware, 18.3% used quasi-VR, and 14.8% omitted critical specifications.
  • * Over 30% of examined studies utilized VR hardware that did not meet rigorous standards for immersive simulated environments.

Conclusions:

  • * A standardized VR qualification matrix is essential for accurate classification and verification of VR technology in research.
  • * The proposed matrix provides a practical tool for researchers and practitioners to ensure the quality and rigor of VR applications.
  • * Addressing VR misclassification is crucial for advancing the reliable application of VR in healthcare and other scientific disciplines.
