目前老年学的趋势将虚拟现实（VR）概念化为康复工具，称赞其在认知康复或作为减少认知功能下降的干预措施方面的潜力。然而，我们必须采取批判性的立场，不仅要确定潜在的积极影响，还要确定在没有适当指导方针的情况下可能出现的问题，以及围绕技术的交互功能进行精心设计的必要性。我们进行了为期6个月的共同发现和共同设计研讨会，涉及专家利益相关者和老年人（N = 25），涉及实际活动，包括用户角色和焦点小组，以了解孤独的复杂性，并确定VR的可能解决方案。基于我们的研究结果，我们的论点集中在两个关键因素的概念化的孤独：空间，和活动可能发生在说的空间。我们提出了我们对VR的重新概念化，将其作为群体活动的工具，而不是被动消费内容，并向社区提出建议，以减少VR的孤独感。
Current trends in gerontology conceptualize Virtual Reality (VR) as a tool for rehabilitation, lauding its potential for cognitive rehabilitation or as an intervention to reduce cognitive function decline. However, we must take a critical stance and identify not just the potential positive impact, but also how things may go wrong without appropriate guidelines, and the need for careful design around the interaction affordances of the technology. We conducted co-discovery and co-design workshops involving expert stakeholders and older adults (N = 25) over a period of 6 months, involving practical activities including user personas and focus groups to understand the complexities of loneliness and identify possible solutions with VR. Based on our findings we focus our argument on two key factors in the conceptualization of loneliness: spaces, and activities which may take place within said spaces. We present our reconceptualization of VR as a tool for group activities instead of passive consumption of content and make suggestions to the community for reducing feelings of loneliness with VR.
