PHYSIOFUTURIST DOMAIN
Extended Reality and Spatial Computing
Extended reality includes virtual, augmented, and mixed reality. It can create simulated practice or layer guidance over the real environment to increase repetition, feedback, and engagement. Gains still need to transfer into daily life, and systems require screening for cybersickness, fatigue, falls risk, accessibility, and whether the digital cue solves a clear motor-learning problem.
Questions for practice
- Which problem would this address, and what outcomes matter to the person receiving care?
- What evidence supports this application, population, and setting?
- What skills, safeguards, resources, and accountability would its use require?
- What would justify continuing, changing, or stopping its use?
This is an introductory overview of a domain in the PhysioFuturist model. Specific products and clinical uses need their own evidence assessment.
