Abstract
The VR2Care project aims to create age-friendly virtual environments fostering interactive technologies for promoting physical activity, rehabilitation, and social interaction. Smart living environments have intelligent interfaces in a single or multi-user context. The VR2Care ecosystem combines virtual reality technologies for supervised exercise with natural interaction techniques, enhancing social virtualization with gamification aspects in the practice of physical activity in a metaverse context. This paper presents the infrastructure and the high-level functional architecture of the VR2Care ecosystem which provides the necessary tools to construct the communication bridges to bring together people sharing common interests, objectives, or ambitions.
