Wearable Immersive Virtual Reality

A category of virtual reality systems designed to be worn on the body, typically using lightweight, portable headsets such as smartphone-based viewers (e.g., Google Cardboard). WIVR prioritizes affordability, portability, and ease of use over the high fidelity of tethered VR systems, making immersive experiences more accessible to populations who may benefit from VR-based interventions but lack access to expensive equipment.
