VR training boosts street safety for the visually impaired

This study tested whether virtual reality (VR) training can help people with low vision learn important street-crossing skills. 117 participants were split into three groups: one trained with a VR system, one with a human instructor on real streets, and one watched educational videos. Their ability to cross streets safely was measured before, right after, and 3 months after training. The goal was to see if VR training works as well as real-world instruction.
