Wearable Virtual Reality (WVR) is thought to offer a powerful approach in the treatment of subjects with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDD), e.g., to improve attention skills and autonomy. We propose to integrate WVR applications with wearable bio-sensors. The visualization of the information extracted from these devices, integrated with measures derived from interaction logs, would help therapists monitor the patient's state and attention levels during a WVR experience. The comparison of results along different sessions would facilitate the assessment of patients' improvements. This approach can be exploited to complement more traditional observation-based evaluation methods or clinical tests and can support evidence-based research on the effectiveness of Wearable VR for persons with NDD.

Abstract
Wearable Virtual Reality (WVR) is thought to offer a powerful approach in the treatment of subjects with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDD), e.g., to improve attention skills and autonomy. We propose to integrate WVR applications with wearable bio-sensors. The visualization of the information extracted from these devices, integrated with measures derived from interaction logs, would help therapists monitor the patient's state and attention levels during a WVR experience. The comparison of results along different sessions would facilitate the assessment of patients' improvements. This approach can be exploited to complement more traditional observation-based evaluation methods or clinical tests and can support evidence-based research on the effectiveness of Wearable VR for persons with NDD.
