This clinical trial aims to develop and test a prototype immersive gamification technology system (ImGTS) among healthy volunteers and to determine its acceptability, safety, and usability in a healthy population. The main question it aims to answer is:
Does ImGTS provide an acceptable, safe, and usable therapeutic modality for patients with Parkinson's Disease? Researchers will compare a head-mounted display (HMD) system and a semi cave automatic virtual environment (semi-CAVE) system to see if they are acceptable, safe, and usable as therapy for PD.
Participants will be will undergoing their assigned ImGTS intervention for four sessions (twice a week for two weeks) supervised by a trained therapist. Afterwards, they will be interviewed based on specific questionnaires used to check for acceptability, safety, and usability.
