Summary

This study compares augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) during music therapy for people with cerebral palsy aged 15 to 35. Participants will use a Meta Quest 3 headset to reach for musical cubes, repeat note sequences, and play virtual instruments. The goal is to see which technology causes less cybersickness and feels easier and more enjoyable to use.
