Abstract

With the coming of aging, the elderly become the focus of people's attention. The study of life space assessment for elderly people is originated from the West and is relatively mature in the western country. However, the lack of local tools in the practice of life space assessment leads to some deficiencies in China. This paper discusses the defects of life space assessment in China’s practice. Based on the analysis of the adaptability of virtual reality technology in life space assessment of the elderly, this paper puts forward the application of virtual reality technology to evaluate the life space of the elderly, so as to make a beneficial supplement for the practice of life space assessment in China.
