Summary

This study tested whether real-time feedback from a virtual trainer avatar during VR exercise improves how people feel and how accurately they move. Twenty-eight healthy adults did three short VR exercise sessions with no feedback, verbal feedback, or combined verbal-gestural feedback. The goal was to see which type of feedback works best for well-being and movement accuracy.
