Low Vision Assessment in Virtual Reality (LVAVR): Spatial Computing in Virtual Reality and Real-World

The Low Vision Assessment in Virtual Reality project aims to create performance assessments of activities of daily living for a broad low vision population in virtual reality. In this study, our goal is to validate representative virtual reality activities against matching real-world activities to create standardized activities of daily living in virtual reality. Experiments were conducted in a rehabilitation space with a kitchen and living room, which was recreated in virtual reality with photorealistic rendering. We created 25 activities in Unity based on our previously developed visual functioning questionnaire and performed a validation study.
