The application of VR for driver rehabilitation can offer numerous unique and innovative advantages to the assessment and rehabilitation of driving skills for persons with neurological compromise. However, in order to ensure the successful integration and acceptance of this new tool, several considerations must be reviewed. This presentation will discuss findings from a series of studies that has examined the VR-Driver System (VRDS) among individuals with and without neurological compromise. The VRDS is an interactive driving experience in a "virtual" neighborhood environment that provides driving performance measures that clinically are not currently available. Findings regarding usability issues, such as user-feedback and the incidence of negative side effects (i.e., simulation sickness) and the overall validity of the use of this technology will be presented.
