Development of a Virtual Reality Assessment of Visuospatial Function and Oculomotor Control

This demo uses Virtual Reality (VR) to assess cognitive function in people with Parkinson’s disease. We developed a VR-based assessment that combines simple game mechanics with components of the Trail Making Test. We collect performance metrics and gaze analytics during gameplay using the HTC Vive Pro Eye system. Ultimately, this data will allow clinicians and researchers to characterize cognitive and visuomotor deficits in people with neurological impairments such as Parkinson’s disease.
