Summary
This study tests whether a virtual reality headset, combined with focus feedback, can help 252 young adults aged 18-25 with ADHD concentrate better on homework and studying. Participants use a Meta Quest 3 VR headset that blocks distractions, and some also get feedback on their focus levels. The goal is to see if VR improves concentration and work productivity compared to a control group.
