Evaluation of biomedical reactions of elderly using VR of amusement park attractions

Abstract

In this study, we evaluated the eardrum temperature, heart rate variability, and reaction time of hand and foot in elderly people using VR of amusement park attractions.As a result of PVT, the reaction time of the hand was significantly faster after the swing ride (P = 0.023). In addition, the reaction time of the foot was significantly faster after the rotating cart (P = 0.034).As a result of SSQ, roller coaster, swing ride, and rotating cart tended to be Nausea in that order (P = 0.084).There was a significant difference in the time phase change in eardrum temperature (P = 0.008).The eardrum temperature of the roller coaster changed drastically, and the eardrum temperature of the swing ride gradually increased. No significant changes were observed in the rotating cart.
