This study aimed to investigate the usability and acceptability of an innovative dementia educational program utilizing Spherical Video-based Virtual Reality (SVVR) for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This study adopted a qualitative research method, collecting data through semi-structured, in-depth interviews for user experience analysis. The researchers also conducted observations of their interaction with the VR device to get further insight into the program's usability. The findings indicated that the users believed the program was user-friendly, enjoyable, immersive, and informative. Furthermore, they expressed a willingness to utilize VR again for health education and recommended its use to others.
