Abstract

The purpose of this study is to design a virtual reality (VR) system that can be used to alleviate aging-based mild cognitive impairment problem among senior citizens in China. We integrated different memory types and models with our VR design and conducted a pilot test to evaluate the effectiveness of the VR system with 120 senior people. This is one of the first studies attempting to integrate memory theories in VR design. It can provide an excellent foundation to contribute to the growing body of design science research (DSR) papers and have significant practical implications.
