Conditions: Aging Well

Registration Number: NCT06076148

Lead Sponsor: TOPMED

Brief Summary: 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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Perception of Immersive Technologies Experience	Immediately after each intervention (Week 1, Week 2)	4 open questions were asked during the focus group about satisfaction with the trials. The answers were assessed through a qualitative data theme analysis. The total number of mentionned items by the intervention group is reported for two themes: appreciated items(things that the participants liked during the games), less appreciated items (things that the participants didn't like during the games).
Integration of Virtual Reality	Immediately after each intervention (Week 1, Week 2)	3 open questions were asked during the focus group about intergration of virtual reality(VR) in the daily lives of the participants.

The total number of mentionned items by the intervention group is reported for two themes: obstacles(factors that make the integration of VR harder in the participant's life), facilitating factors(factors that make the integration of VR easier in the participant's life), .
Acceptability of Immersive Technologies	Immediately after each intervention (Week 1, Week 2)	1 open question was asked during the focus group about intention to use virtual reality(VR) in the daily lives of the participants.
