The Design of a Virtual Reality Environment for ADHD Intervention

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that significantly impacts daily functioning. This paper presents a novel ADHD intervention approach using immersive Virtual Reality (VR) technology and real-time performance data analysis to create a more engaging and responsive learning environment. The proposed system engages participants in VR tasks designed to challenge attention and impulse control, while monitoring user behaviour such as reaction time and accuracy to detect signs of inattention. When attention lapses are detected through these behavioral metrics, the system dynamically triggers adaptive interventions, such as prompts, rewards, or task adjustments, to re-engage the user. By leveraging an engaging VR environment with adaptive feedback, this approach offers a personalized and data-driven solution to improve attentional control in individuals with ADHD.
