Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Diagnosis / Prognosis - VR Mobility Tool

Experimental: Participants - Participants with retinal disease, healthy volunteers


Diagnosis / Prognosis: VR Mobility Tool
Participant wears VR goggles and interacts with a visual avatar via a control unit to navigate four courses. Derived parameters automatically recorded by the VR system include number and type of collisions, walking speed, task time, and distance walked.
