The VESFA study is all delivered online.

Testing will be on the video conferencing technology zoom.

 

Therapy will be delivered in EVA Park, a virtual world for people with aphasia

What do you mean by virtual?

• We mean a virtual world, or online 3D space you can explore, meet other people, and practice talking. You are not talking to virtual other people or robots, but real people who are logged on at the same time.
• It is not immersive virtual reality – it is a 3D world on a screen, much like a computer game in real time. You do not need to wear a virtual reality headset like Oculus Rift or Google cardboard.
