Summary
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 real instructor on actual streets, and one watched educational videos. Their real-world street performance was measured before, right after, and 3 months after training to see if VR training works as well as human-led training.
