SBER

B06 - [ON-DEMAND] Virtual Reality (VR) Bites: Practical Considerations for Researchers and IRBs for Research in the VR Space

Sunday, December 3, 2023
11:30 AM – 12:30 PM ET
On-Demand Session Human Subjects Research Deep Dive Series
This session will be offered on-demand only for in-person SBER23 registrants, and PRIMR23/SBER23 Virtual Meeting registrants; there is no live interaction.

When you step into VR, your actions shape the environment. VR experiences are created by tracking users’ natural movements and rendering a digital environment in response. When social/behavioral studies are conducted in these immersive environments, understanding the unique risks depends on the equipment used, the type of interaction, duration, content delivered, data collected, and individual considerations (both ongoing conditions and temporary states), all of which can affect a participant’s likelihood to experience side effects when using VR.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explore pre-screening requirements
  • Discuss safety protocols and risk mitigation in VR research
  • Discuss appropriate monitoring practices during VR sessions
