While there are various virtual reality rehabilitation studies, the impact of virtual environments on rehabilitation has been less studied. This study investigates the added value of an enriched virtual environment on motivation and engagement in stroke rehabilitation. We conducted a validity study on healthy participants (N=25) in two environments: enriched virtual reality and non-enriched virtual reality. Our hypotheses are: 1) An enriched virtual environment with multisensory feedback, gamification, and adaptive function adds value to user motivation and engagement by increasing interest/enjoyment, perceived choice, value/usefulness, and relatedness of the application. 2) Motivated and engaged users spend more time or score more points in the application. The key findings of this study are that intrinsic motivation is higher in the enriched virtual environment (EVE) compared to the non-enriched virtual environment (NEVE). There are significant differences in motivation between these two environments. Furthermore, results show that more participants are engaged in the enriched virtual environment, spending more time, and scoring higher (Spearman’s ρ=0.809 ).

However, there are more to feedbacks than rewards elements. Feedback can provide user with useful information and at the same time feedback from user are useful for an adaptive system. There has been lack of empirical basis for feedback design to maintain motivation in virtual reality environment especially for the less cognitively abled population such as stroke patients. This paper presents a review study on gamification, sensory feedback, and adaptive function with regards to the use of virtual reality in stroke rehabilitation. A further analysis was conducted on those work that involves gamification and virtual reality design principles. One major finding is the dominant use of visual feedback in the design as compared to auditory and haptics despite their potentials to encourage motivation and engagement. The literature findings will be used to inform future empirical research on virtual reality design for stroke rehabilitation. The idea is to investigate the effect of sensory feedback and the added value on motivation and engagement. Some plans on how to conduct such a study will be illustrated.
