3 Choose your VR platform v Oculus Rift Ø Cost: $399 for Oculus Rift headset, Oculus Touch motion controllers, two room sensors, and the Oculus Remote. Ø Bottom Line: Powerful, PC- tethered VR headset that comes with Oculus Touch motion controllers. 1 lb. Keep an eye out for Oculus Go that launched May 1st for $199 it s an all- in- one wireless VR headset. Ø Pros: Immersive VR experience with a simple setup. Uses a desk- mounted camera that functions very well close up. Touch controllers are curved to fit comfortably in the hand and feel better than other controllers. Oculus offers a free downloadable program that scans your computer and tells you whether or not it meets the required specs. Comes with built- in on- ear headphones that are adjustable. Can wear glasses underneath, but will be a tight fit. Ø Cons: Requires a powerful gaming computer to run recommended specs for a PC include having at least a Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon R9 GPU graphics card, an Intel i5-4590 processor or greater, 8GB or more of RAM, an HDMI 1.4 or DisplayPort 1.2 video output, a USB 2.0 port, and a Windows 7 SP1 64- bit operating system or above. A system that meets these requirements would likely run $1,700 or above. Does not have whole- room VR. v HTC Vive Ø Cost: $499 Ø Bottom Line: Comprehensive PC- tethered VR system that supports both motion controls and whole- room VR. All games/experiences are through Steam VR, which has a very strong selection. Keep an eye out for the Vive Pro which came out on April 5th for $799 it has increased resolution and a second external camera. Ø Pros: Immersive VR. Can wear glasses underneath the Vive and headset
facemask is easy to remove for cleaning. Only device that offers whole- room VR. Comes with The Lab a multi- situation VR demo that is a collection of neat mini games and experiences. Ø Cons: Tons of cables and kind of a complicated setup. Having a tethered headset can make whole- room VR tricky. Like the Oculus, requires a computer with a lot of power, which will therefore be pretty costly. Earphones that come with it pop out easily can also use your own earphones or headphones. Need a space of at least 6.5 by 5 ft for whole- room VR; can still set up for standing VR if you don t have the space, but will limit what you can do. Only works with SteamVR platform. v Samsung Gear VR Ø Cost: $129 Ø Bottom Line: Inexpensive headset that uses compatible phones (Samsung phones from last two years) to offer a VR experience. Ø Pros: Good if you want to try VR without investing much money. Ø Cons: Smartphone- based inferior graphical capabilities and motion- tracking. v Sony PlayStation VR Ø Cost: $399 for PS VR + PlayStation Camera; $449 for PS VR PlayStation Camera and two Move controllers Ø Bottom Line: Sony s tethered VR system designed for use with PS4 or PS4 Pro. As of September 2017 is sold in one of two bundles mentioned above. Move controllers are optional, but enable motion controls. Ø Pros: Top selling points are the price and ease of use. The PS4 platform can run non- VR apps and games will display as a giant screen floating in front of your face. Cost of a PS4 is much less than the gaming PCs required to run Vive and Rift. Has a 120Hz refresh rate which gives it the capability of smoother motion than 90Hz Rift and Vive. Ø Cons: Slightly less powerful specs than main competitors (Vive and Rift). Picture is slightly grainier than Vive and Rift. Difficulty with motion- tracking in bright lighting as it relies on visual tracking with colored lights rather than infrared tracking. Fairly direct process to set up, but has a ton of cables. Since the Move controllers depend on the PlayStation Camera, you can t turn completely around like you can with other systems. Move controller shape is a wand with glowing bulb at end and 4
5 included wrist strap and isn t as easy to grasp as other controllers. Doesn t support whole- room motion tracking. Have to have a fair amount of space to set up won t work well in a cramped area. v Google Daydream View Ø Cost: Ø Bottom Line: Inexpensive headset that uses compatible phones to offer a VR experience. Ø Pros: Good if you want to try VR without investing much money. Ø Cons: Clinical Set- Up v Safe place free of obstacles (space for virtual workspace) include pics v Minimum space requirements- 6.5 by 5 ft for whole- room VR v Possibly mobile? Pairing with other equipment, such as activity- based, bedrest include pics v Safe seating v Heavy static chair with wide base of support v For clients deemed safe, swiveling office chair on castors (recline featured locked) Self- teaching and Training v Use this guide! v Start with included user instructions v Play! v Check out these awesome references! Game Recommendations v Vision Ø Vision Therapy: Visual guidance on completing five vision therapy exercises. Works with Samsung GearVR, Oculus Rift, and Steam VR.

Clinical Justification v Dynamic v Balance conflict v Proprioceptive emphasis v Dual tasking v Repetitions v Simultaneous core stabilization and distal mobility focus v Inherently motivating v Appeal to younger clients v Easy to grade v Functional planes of movement for ADLs (i.e. Plate to mouth, brushing hair, dressing, etc). PNF patterns. More Repetitions! v Grasp patterns focus for games not requiring hand controllers Documentation (examples) v Standing/PT: Ø Documentation- While engaged in a virtual task using an Oculus Rift Platform targeting dynamic standing balance and endurance, Erin stood for 20 minutes with contact guard assistance. This was an
improvement compared to her previous performance of 5 minutes with minimal assistance. Ø STG- Erin will stand for at least 10 minutes with close stand by assistance while engaged in a virtual task targeting dynamic standing balance and endurance. Ø LTG- v Occupational therapy/hand use: Ø Documentation- With initial minimal assistance followed by minimal verbal cues for technique, Erin demonstrated thumb flexion and adduction for 5 minutes on an oculus rift controller while engaged in a virtual task from seat d level aimed at eliciting functional grasp patterns of the hand. Previously, she had only been able to do so with visual feedback. Gains are evidence of improvements in proprioception and coordination. Ø STG- Erin will sustain at least 10 minutes of thumb flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction from standing level while engaging in a virtual task using leap motion software with an Oculus Rift Platform. This will be performed without the use of hand controllers. Ø LTG- v Cognitive: Erin was able to engage in a virtual activity using an Oculus Rift platform for 25 minutes with close supervision and moderate verbal cues to attend to visual cues on a screen to maintain attention. This was an improvement in terms of attention to task, as no other previous activities held her attention for longer than 10 minutes due to severe frontal lobe dysfunction causing distractibility in many environments. Ø STG- Erin will be able to engage in a virtual task using an Oculus Rift platform for at least 30 minutes with close supervision and minimal verbal cues to sustain attention. Ø LTG- v Psych- Following education related to the use of mindfulness meditation for severe chronic depression and chronic low back pain, Erin engaged in a therapeutic virtual reality environment aimed at coaching mindfulness meditation as a pain management strategy for 30 minutes with verbal instructions provided by the psychologist. v Ø STG: Erin will self report the ability to maintain attention on simple perceptual stimuli presented in the virtual reality environment for at least 30 minutes without judgement or interferences of pain perceptions. Ø LTG: Erin will generalize mindfulness meditation strategies of accepting emotions and thoughts without judgement in everyday experiences. Erin will specifically experience bodily sensations of movements of the low back without judgement while attending to outside of the body sights and sounds. v Vision: With tactile cuing, Erin was able to track visual stimuli in an immersive virtual environment as evidenced by 25 rotational head 7
8 movements to the left from her wheelchair during a 5 minute virtual task. This was indicative of improved left sided visual spatial attention. Erin has severe left sided visual in attention as a result of her Cerebral Vascular Accident. Ø STG: Erin will demonstrate at least 25 rotational head movements to the left side with verbal cues while engaged in a 5 minute virtual task. Ø LTG: Erin will demonstrate transfer of skills to a non- VR environment as evidenced by at least 25 rotational movements of the head to the left side while ambulating down a hallway during a therapeutic task. Other Measurement Examples v Level of physical assistance from seated or standing level (contact guard, minimal assistance, etc) v length of time attending to virtual task, sustained upper extremity movements, standing while engaged in virtual task v goniometric measures of AROM at shoulder or elbow v Balance measurements (ask Brad) v Number/type of grasp patterns exhibited during virtual task v Game scores v Number of discrete active UE movements recorded v Rating Scales Ø Balance Ø Psych Grading v Sitting in wheelchair, sitting on stationary chair >swiveling office chair > static standing with physical assistance> standing without assistance v Use of one controller (one handed use) use of two controllers (bilateral upper extremity use) v Short duration > long duration v Without distractors > with distractors v With verbal cues> without verbal cues v With hands on assistance > without hands on assist v Within game setting adjustments, increased difficulty with game levels v Without controllers > with controllers
