Randomized trial evaluates cognitive workload in diverse settings, suggesting benefits for inclusive design.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality in enhancing accessibility in industrial training environments.
Four 3D virtual environments simulated wagon-loading operations with varying layouts and feedback.
Cognitive workload was assessed with the NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) and system interaction logs.
Sixteen participants, including those with visual impairments, engaged in the study.
No statistical significance was reached, but trends indicated better performance with design adjustments.
Notable reductions in NASA-TLX workload scores were observed for both groups in adjusted scenarios.

Fernandes et al. (2026) studied this question.
