VR training boosts Street-Crossing skills for low vision patients

This study tested whether virtual reality (VR) training can teach people with low vision how to safely cross streets and navigate outdoor spaces. 117 participants were split into three groups: one trained with a VR system, one trained with a human instructor on real streets, and one watched educational videos. The VR training aimed to improve skills like timing when to cross a street. Results were measured before, right after, and 3 months after training.
