Abstract : Facing an aging population with an increasing prevalence of dementia, the challenge lies in improving cognitive assessment and screening. Numerous paper tests are used daily as Mini Mental Status Examination (MMSE) or Montréal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Several assessments in virtual environments were developed to enhance ecology and appeared to be as efficient as classical tests. Using the Oculus Quest® device, a novel immersive environment was created and composed of thirteen cognitive tasks. Each scene was conceived using the navigation, selection, and manipulation 3D interaction tasks. This new environment browses several cognitive functions easily despite some technical limits.
