| 2026 | Immersive remote learning for individuals with intellectual disabilitiesabstractExtended reality (XR) technologies are transforming domains like gaming, healthcare, and training, offering benefits such as enhanced safety, cost reduction, and immersive experiences. However, current XR systems often overlook accessibility for individuals with diverse abilities and remain unexplored in inclusive learning contexts. The Incluverso-5G project seeks to address this gap by leveraging XR to improve the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities, including employment inclusion. This paper presents an immersive tool to support remote training for certified cooking courses, enabling users unable to attend in-person classes to access training and certification.The system includes an advanced 360-degree content viewer and a real-time immersive supervision tool, utilizing features like six degrees of freedom (6-DoF), color passthrough, and hand tracking for interactive learning. A four-step remote learning process—sensitization, instructional content, supervised practice, and certification—ensures accessibility and usability. The tool empowers individuals to acquire valuable skills and achieve professional certifications, demonstrating the potential of XR for inclusive training.

| 2026 | Work-in-Progress: Behavioral Insights from Eye Tracking and Interactions in an Immersive Cognitive Training Program for Adults with Intellectual DisabilitiesabstractCognitive training is a common therapeutic approach to improve the quality of life of individuals with intellectual disabilities, although conventional methods often show limited engagement and skill transfer. The use of eXtended Reality (XR) allows to develop immersive cognitive training, with evidence of improved motivation and engagement. In parallel, biosignals and behavioral metrics are increasingly used to assess user experience and cognitive state in immersive environments. This study presents a longitudinal evaluation of an immersive cognitive training application involving eight participants over eight months. Multiple data sources were collected, including eye tracking, electromyography and electrodermal activity, together with questionnaires and interviews to capture subjective experience. Preliminary results focus on gaze and interaction data. The number of fixations reflects task complexity, with more complex scenarios associated with increased exploratory behavior and a higher proportion of fixations on distracting elements. Interaction data from the most complex task indicate improved efficiency over time both before and during actions. Further analysis will explore these findings and incorporate the remaining physiological and behavioral data, together with the analysis of the interviews and questionnaires.

| 2025 | Immersive Cognitive Training for Job Integration with people with Intellectual DisabilitiesabstractThe combination of eXtended Reality (XR) technologies with physiological signals offers innovative approaches to cognitive training for individuals with intellectual disabilities.This study presents a tool designed for cognitive training aimed at job integration through interactive and immersive environments.The tool was developed in collaboration with therapists from the Juan XXIII Foundation, an occupational center, and focuses on enhancing cognitive skills through serious games for job training.These games simulate realistic environments, such as a cafeteria and a supermarket, where users must complete various tasks.These tasks are designed to progressively increase in complexity as users advance, allowing them to improve their skills.Therapists can monitor and control the training sessions in real-time through an application, while users engage with the immersive scenarios.Additionally, the system incorporates non-invasive biosensors to track physiological data, such as heart rate, eye movement, etc. providing valuable insights into the Marta Goyena, Matteo Dal Magro, Martina Merolli, David Barbero García, Carlos Cortés 0001, Marta Orduna, Ainhoa Fernández-Alcaide, María Nava-Ruiz, Jesús Gutiérrez 0001, Pablo Pérez 0001, Narciso García |
