Assessing Reaction Time using AppleVisionPro
In this challenge, the goal is to build an application that assesses reaction time.
Potential Technologies:
- Hand tracking
- Object manipulation
- World tracking / User position
- Windows, Immersive Spaces
Purpose To provide clinical support for a reaction-time-based app designed to help elderly users monitor cognitive health through simple daily exercises.
Research-Based Evidence
- Reaction Time as a Cognitive Health Indicator
- Reaction Time Training Has Functional Benefits
- Similar Gamified Interventions Show Promise
Research Finding -> Relevance to our App
- Slower and more variable reaction times predict cognitive decline -> Supports using Reaction Time as a daily monitoring metric
- Reaction Time training improves independence and reduces fall risk -> Justifies a gamified, light-touch exercise
- Gamified/reactive VR games enhance attentional and cognitive skills -> Validates game format like our bubble reaction app
