Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study tailored a variety of instructional material within each virtual scenario, taking into account various memory triggers. Guidance is activated when the user is identified as making physical contact with an object or discussing a specific keyword. This encompasses textual assistance provided within the virtual environment, the display of multimedia information, and the provision of organized voice guidance. Following the system's instructions, users engaged in discussion with the caregiver, and had the freedom to terminate the conversation at their discretion and explore other topics by interacting with different items.
