Study Details

This clinical trial compares virtual reality viewing of an unaltered streetscape versus a digitally manipulated opposite streetscape to assess the psychosocial response in participants. Visible measures of neighborhood factors might be associated with health outcomes and risk factors of those outcomes. Short-term exposure to virtual reality environments representing very high or very low levels of neighborhood physical disorder - presence or absence of garbage/litter, presence or absence of graffiti, presence or absence of an abandoned building, presence or absence of large dumpsters, poor or very well-kept building conditions, poor or very well-kept yard conditions, poor or very well-kept road verge conditions may be a safe and effective way to assess psychosocial response in participants.

Arms

  • Experimental: Arm I (twin followed by opposite streetscape)
    Participants have their streetscape photographed. Participants view a standard residential streetscape using VR for up to 5 minutes. Patients then view a digital twin of their streetscape with identical physical disorder using VR for up to 5 minutes followed by viewing their streetscape with the opposite physical disorder using VR for up to 5 minutes.
  • Experimental: Arm II (opposite followed by twin streetscape)
    Participants have their streetscape photographed. Participants view a standard residential streetscape using VR for up to 5 minutes. Patients then view their streetscape with the opposite physical disorder using VR for up to 5 minutes followed by viewing a digital twin of their streetscape with identical physical disorder using VR for up to 5 minutes.

Primary Outcome Measure

Change in heart rate variability [ Time Frame: From baseline to completion of virtual reality (VR) viewings, up to 1 day ]
