Jakarta is an ever-growing, high economy city. The generation of millenials as its productive workforce tends to experience stress, pressure, boredom, and even depression due to competition and fulfilling demands. A few measures of prevention against individual's rising stress level may be done by self-relaxation, recreation, hobby, and exercising. Unfortunately, millenials have little to no time to relax and enjoy themselves. They are faced with strenuous lifestyle at the expense of their own health, which include the lack of physical activities and balanced nutrition. Some millenials had become aware of the importance to living healthy and obsessed themselves with a proper lifestyle. While some others still hold onto the perception that exercising is difficult, time-wasting, and boring. With the advance of technology like virtual reality, as not only being used in entertainment, research and education, it is applied in gyms to provide a fun and thrilling exercise. Exercising felt like playing games inside a virtual world, while still burning calories. This creates a new scope of experience to millenials who tend to seek something new, technological, and trend-following. Fitness Center with Virtual Gym Experience implements virtual reality technology as its trademark, and as opposed to conventional gyms. This project aims to elevate the lifestyle quality of community as means of stress-prevention against working demands. The method of design applied is typology. Other than gym, several supporting facilities are present such as food court, communal areas, jogging & cycling track, spa, and retail. AbstrakJakarta memiliki tingkat ekonomi yang tinggi dan terus meningkat. Generasi millennial sebagai masyarakat usia produktif bekerja mulai merasa stress, tertekan, jenuh, emosi, bahkan depresi akibat persaingan ekonomi dan tuntutan pekerjaan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya. Beberapa tindakan pencegahan tingkat stress seseorang dapat dilakukan dengan cara relaksasi diri, rekreasi/ berlibur, melakukan hobi, dan berolahraga. Sayangnya, generasi millennial hanya memiliki sedikit waktu untuk relaksasi dan bersenang-senang. Mereka dihadapkan pada gaya hidup yang sibuk, sehingga mengabaikan kesehatan dirinya, termasuk aktivitas fisik dan kecukupan asupan nutrisi. Dengan adanya kemajuan teknologi, seperti virtual reality tidak hanya sekedar dimanfaatkan dalam dunia hiburan, pendidikan, dan penelitian. Virtual reality ini dapat diterapkan dalam gym, menjadi suatu kegiatan olahraga yang menyenangkan, menantang, dan adiktif. Gym yang dilakukan akan terasa seperti bermain games, seolah-olah berada di dunia penuh imajinasi, padahal secara tidak langsung mereka sudah membakar kalori saat aktif bergerak, sehingga membuat sehat dan bugar. Hal ini tentunya memberi pengalaman baru bagi generasi millennial yang bersifat suka mencoba sesuatu yang baru, mengikuti tren, dan teknologi. Sehingga munculah proyek Fasilitas Kebugaran dengan Pengalaman Gym Virtual. Tujuan proyek untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidup masyarakat untuk tetap menjaga kesehatan dan kebugaran tubuhnya sebagai salah satu cara pencegahan stress di tengah kesibukan tuntutan pekerjaan. Metode desain yang digunakan yaitu tipologi. Selain dalam hal gym, di proyek ini juga dilengkapi fasilitas penunjangnya, seperti food court yang menyediakan makanan-makanan sehat, area-area komunal untuk masyarakat bersosialisasi (jogging & bicycle track), dan untuk spa, relaksasi, hiburan, hingga retail.

Abstract Background The accessibility, versatility and motivation provided by virtual reality technology (VRT) have fostered its rapid expansion as a rehabilitation technique to improve functional mobility. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of rehabilitation programmes using VRT, specific virtual reality technology (VRT-S) and non-specific virtual reality technology (VRT-NS), to improve functional mobility in individuals aged >60 years versus conventional treatment (CT) or no intervention. Methods Nine databases (Cochrane Library, Scopus, PEDro, Medline, CSIC, Web of Science, OT Seeker, NGCH and CINAHL) were searched to identify randomised trials up to December 2019. Results of clinical trials that used VRT-S and VRT-NS in rehabilitation were combined, using a random effects model with inverse variance weighting of the studies. GRADE was used to assess the quality of evidence. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO: CRD42019131630. Overall, there was moderate quality of evidence for the functional mobility results, which means that the estimate of effect is likely to change. Results Sixteen of the 18 studies selected (n = 568) provided data for the subgroup meta-analysis. VRT-NS was more effective in improving functional mobility than no intervention [standardised mean difference (SMD) = –1.02; 95% confidence interval (CI) −1,91 to −0,14). VRT-NS was also more effective than CT in improving resistance in ambulation (SMD = −1.20; 95% CI –1.93 to 0.46). No significant differences were found between VRT-S and CT or no intervention. Programmes in which >18 sessions were applied were more beneficial (SMD = −0.89; 95% CI –1.71 to –0.08; <0.001) than programmes with ≤18 sessions (SMD = 0.04; 95% CI –0.51 to 0.59) versus no intervention. Conclusions Our results suggest that VRT is an effective intervention for improving functional mobility in older persons compared with CT. VRT-NS proved to be more effective than VRT-S. However, these results are still not conclusive due to the low methodological quality of the studies. Thus, new studies and analyses are required.

In this chapter, examples of the application of urbanism approaches are described not only to reduce unwanted noise but also to improve the quality of the sonic environment. By considering different architectonic elements existent in the urban environment, it is possible to highly reduce traffic noise levels. The shape of the buildings, the street configurations, or the urban furniture are effective for urban sound-friendly architecture. Additionally, it has been proven that human perception is multisensorial; thus, the visual elements are also influential to the perception of urban sound environments. The way visual elements can support the sonic coherence of a space and its relation to the urban functionality is discussed. Finally, Virtual Reality Technology is proposed as a tool for the design and appraisal of future urban development where both visual and audio can be simultaneously assessed. The implementation within a smart city is also considered.

Procedures for interactively employing captured images for virtual world construction are described using prototypes of two applications for virtual shopping. Virtual reality technology, especially the image based rendering technique, enables us to exhibit products in a sophisticated way. With a concert ticket reservation system the customer can check the view of the stage from any seat. These images are synthesized from captured images and are not created from less realistic computer graphics. With a catalog shopping system that uses captured images to show products, the customer can observe them stereoscopically and vary the viewing angle interactively. These systems are implemented into kiosktype terminals. Purchases can be made with IC-card type electronic cash.
